This year's laptop has a 50% better battery than last year

Intel is confident that notebook models using the new Haswell chip platform consume less power and can live more than 20 hours in standby mode.

Intel is confident that notebook models using the new Haswell chip platform consume less power and can "live" more than 20 hours in standby mode.

Laptops that especially ultrabook line will have significantly increased battery life.

In a bold statement yesterday, Intel confirmed that all notebooks using the new Haswell chip will give up to 50% more battery life than versions of Ivy 3rd generation Core i chips. Bride last year.

According to Computerworld , Intel is quite confident despite knowing that there are many other components on a laptop that consume a lot of power such as monitors, memory, RAM and other components. The new chip has been announced to improve maximum operating efficiency both when working and in " idle" or standby mode.

However, this superior improvement does not appear on all laptops that use Haswell chips . The lowest-power processor in this series has a power consumption (TDP) of 10 watts (Intel calls SDP 7W separately). Most of the rest consume more energy than that.

Power consumption level of Haswell chip line according to Intel's announcement.

With the new chip line, the most influential laptop line is ultrabook. For example, when taking an old model with a battery for about 6 hours and replacing the processor chip, the new system will have a battery life of about 9 hours . Intel says ultrabook will only use about 100 mW of power in "idle" mode.

Intel Haswell processor is expected to appear on many tablet, laptop or desktop models at Computex 2013.
