What’s new? Windows IoT Weeks & what Intel is planning for 2017

03.03.2017

The topic that no one will soon be able to avoid: Windows 10 IoT. And that is cause for celebration! We also want to take a little detour into the world of Intel and look at Coffee Lake, the 8th generation of Core i processors, and the upgrade of the Kaby Lake Pentium

First things first: Windows 10 IoT

As already hinted at in the teaser, there is good news. Our customers are already looking forward to the expansion of our OS offering through the "Internet of Things". In the coming weeks, we will regularly feed our knowledge blog with entries on Windows 10 IoT . Because this much can be said: it's not just savers who will be clapping their hands. There is also plenty of material for our software cracks and all those who want to become one!

By the way: Wall brackets are now also available for our spo-book CORE!

Our small digital signage powerhouse spo-book CORE is now also available with a VESA-standard wall mount for a small surcharge. The great thing about this is that the CORE can be conveniently hooked onto the mounting option on the wall bracket. What does the whole thing look like in real life? Pictures at the bottom of the article!

Intel's "Coffee Lake": 8th generation to be launched on the market in 2017

Intel recently announced that the 8th generation of Core i processors called "Coffee Lake" will be launched on the market in the second half of this year. An increase in performance of more than 15 percent is expected. Intel is still keeping a low profile when it comes to code names and clock frequencies. We remain excited!

Even better than expected: The Pentium version of the "Kaby Lake" processors

Intel is significantly upgrading the 7th generation Pentium processors (Kaby Lake). Thanks to Hyper-Threading, the entry-level CPUs offer significantly better values than their Skylake predecessors, which is clearly noticeable in some rendering software. Further information on upgrading the Kaby Lake Pentium can be found here. If you want to know what the term "hyper threading" means, just take a look at our blog entry:

Good to know: What is a CPU?
