After that, we'll break down the specific CPUs that Intel is announcing today and the kinds of systems you're likely to find them in. What we'll do here is present a high-level recap of the CPU, GPU, and chipset enhancements Intel is introducing in Haswell.

We'll be sure to pass that information along as we have it. If you're looking for specific information about U- and Y- series low-voltage chips for Ultrabooks or anything belonging to the Core i3, Pentium, or Celeron families, you'll have to wait a little while longer. This morning's announcements revolve around high-end quad-core chips in the Core i7 and Core i5 families, 12 for desktops and 10 for laptops. All we need to know now is specific product information, and Intel is finally giving us our first official taste of that today. Our coverage has already been fairly extensive-we've already got a nice overview of Haswell's CPU architecture itself, along with a primer on its brand-new integrated GPUs. Intel has been releasing information about Haswell, its next-generation CPU architecture, for months now.
