In line with the announcement of the new Broadwell-U line up, Intel also took the wraps off the new Intel Atom codenamed Cherry Trail.

Unfortunately, unlike with the new Broadwell-U family, there were not a lot of details about Cherry Trail that were mentioned during the announcement.

The chipmaker did, however, state that the Bay Trail’s successor will play nicely with their XMM726x wireless module which means that upcoming Intel-powered smartphones/tablets will support LTE-Advance connectivity out of the box, like the newly-announced Lenovo P90.

On top of that, Intel also mentioned that their new system-on-chip will be imbued with new technologies such as Intel Context Aware, RealSense and Integrated Sensor Solution.

Intel is anticipating that Cherry Trail-powered devices will start to hit the shelves on the first half of 2015.

The long wait is finally over as the chipmaker formally announces the 5th Generation Intel Core processor lineup which includes a total of 14 new processors under the Core i3, i5 and i7, as well as three new Pentium and Celeron chips.

Based on 14nm manufacturing process, these new 5th-Gen Intel processors are touted to bring 22-percent improvement in 3D graphics performance, an hour-and-half more battery life, and 50% faster video conversion than Haswell-U processors.

The graphics performance improvement is, in large part, credited to the new HD Graphics 5500, HD Graphics 6000 and Intel Iris Graphics 6100 that can be found on the new Core i3, i5 and i7 chips under the Broadwell-U product line.

In addition, Intel has also added some of its home-brewed technologies in to the mix, such as RealSense and Wireless Display (WiDi) Version 5.1 which are both geared for wireless and “more natural and interactive user experiences”.

Here’s the full list of new 5th Generation Intel Core processors:

Intel expects that consumers will start seeing computing devices running on Broadwell-U as early as this month. Meanwhile, Cherry Trail-powered devices are expected to hit the shelves within the first half of this year.

Two new midrange smartphones were announced by Samsung today — the Galaxy E5 and the Galaxy E7, both of which were also announced in Las Vegas during CES.

Samsung Galaxy E7 specs:
5.5-inch Super AMOLED HD @ 720×1280 pixels, 267ppi
Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 1.2GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 processor
Adreno 306 Graphics

5MP front-facing camera
GPS with aGPS support, GLONASS
Android 4.4 Kitkat
Li-Ion 2950mAh battery

The Galaxy E7 has a single SIM or dual-SIM option. We’re hoping the handset has LTE capability since it uses a Snapdragon 410 chip.

1.2GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 processor
1.5GB RAM

Android 4.4 Kitkat
Li-Ion 2400mAh battery

It is not clear if the Galaxy E5 is also using the same Snapdragon 410 chip as the Galaxy E7 but will update the specs sheet once we get more details.
