Still no real news on just what the hell the Core M line is? There's been some conflicting info on the web about whether they just renamed the Y series the Core M or the old U chips as well. Also zero performance info on the new chips, so can we really call them an upgrade?
(Given the 8hr battery claim from Intel using a 32Whr battery, the chip is not much better than the U series in terms of actual energy draw, since the 4300U powered SP3 is getting about that much with a larger screen and a fan to power on just 30% larger battery)

Thanks Ian! I have been enjoying the Computex coverage. I'm really looking forward to the Devil's Canyon review!tipoo - Tuesday, June 3, 2014 - link
Interesting catchphrase for Intel. I wonder if it's to dispel the feeling of them always being a year away from something good in mobile?Redstorm - Tuesday, June 3, 2014 - link
