Cost-optimized option, codenamed Gemini Lake

Intel announced that it has unveiled the new Intel Pentium Silver and Intel Celeron processors.

The newly released Intel Pentium Silver and Intel Celeron processors are based on the 'Gemini Lake' architecture and feature an excellent balance of performance and connectivity needed for users to perform daily tasks such as document and spreadsheet work, web browsing, watching TV shows and movies, and photo editing, as well as outstanding battery life.

Intel also announced an expanded line of the Pentium brand. It introduced the Intel Pentium Silver and Intel Pentium Gold brands to allow users to distinguish processor performance levels and more easily select the product that best suits them.

The Intel Pentium Silver processor based on the Gemini Lake architecture represents the cost-optimized option within the Pentium processor family, while the currently available Kaby Lake architecture ^- based Pentium Gold processor boasts the highest performance among Intel Pentium processors.

Intel provides Gigabit Wi-Fi connectivity for ultra-high-speed connections for the first time on a PC platform through Pentium Silver and Celeron processors. With the industry standard 2x2 802.11AC and 160MHz channels utilized, users can enjoy downloads up to twice as fast as 802.11AC systems and 12 times faster than 802.11 BGN systems, and even enjoy network speeds faster than wired Gigabit Ethernet ^.

Intel Gigabit Wi-Fi provides seamless, fast connectivity, enabling users to stream content faster, collaborate conveniently, and browse the web quickly, and to download large files such as HD movies in an instant.

In addition, users can seamlessly stream the latest content from popular sites like YouTube and Netflix on Intel Pentium Silver and Intel Celeron-based systems. Furthermore, recognizing that people do not typically watch content under perfectly bright lighting, Intel introduced a display technology called Local Adaptive Contrast Enhancement (LACE) for the first time. This technology enables clear viewing even outdoors where glare and bright light are present.
