Intel officials expect more than 100 systems running on the 7th Generation Cores to begin hitting the market this fall. They will be followed by PCs for enthusiasts in January 2017.

      Also on display was Asus’ T305 detachable system that is thin (6.9 mm) and light (1.5 pounds). The new Core chips come in the Y-series that run at 1.0GHz to 1.3GHz and consume 4.5 watts of power, and the U-series (2.4GHz to 2.7GHz and up to 15 watts). Both are dual-core, four-thread processors.
