Intel has revealed (http://newsroom.intel.com/community/intel_newsroom/blog/2015/06/02/intel-leads-a-new-era-of-computing-experiences-intelligence-everywhere) a crop of new fifth-gen Core chips for mobile and desktop that should tide over power-users and gamers until next-gen "Skylake (http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/05/intel-kirk-skaugen-on-future-of-pcs/)" CPUs arrive later this year. There are five new models for desktop and five for mobile, all packing the latest Iris Pro 6200 graphics. The most interesting model for desktop users is the Core i7-5775-C, a CPU that will replace the current i7-4790S (http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/03/intel-devils-canyon-haswell-chip-details/) for around $365. Thanks to the Iris chip, Intel says that model will double its predecessor's graphics performance and boost media chores by 35 percent. The top new laptop model is the $623 Core i7-5950HQ chip, which doubles the overall performance of older i7-5600U models.
