Intel introduced a prototype of an ultra-thin transformer based on Broadwell, which is able to work for 32 hours without recharging

Most of the internal volume of a 12.5-inch Llama Mountain ultrabook is only 7.2 mm thick and weighs 670 grams (without a keyboard). This was achieved thanks to the exceptionally thin and compact motherboard based on the new generation CPU, made using the 14-nm process technology. Intel calls this motherboard the smallest full-fledged motherboard in the world. The tablet runs on Windows 8.1 Pro and has a dockable keyboard and dock that turn it into a full-fledged computer.



Intel's new mobile processors go on sale this year under the Intel Core M brand name. These are the most energy-efficient chips the company has ever made. They are specifically designed to work in hybrid transformer devices that are both high-performance tablets and ultra-thin laptops. The chips are designed for fully passive cooling. Llama Mountain is a demonstration of reference design and will not be mass-produced - it is a model that manufacturers should focus on.

One of the first companies to start selling devices based on 14nm Intel Core M seems to be Asus. At Computex 2014 in Taipei, the company introduced the Transformer Book T300 Chi just a few hours after the presentation of Llama Mountain.which is very similar to the Intel prototype in specifications. Its thickness is 7.3 mm, the diagonal is 12.5, the resolution is 2560x1440 pixels. The transformer can install up to 4 gigabytes of RAM. It has a microSD card slot and a 4G communication module. Nothing is known about the price yet.
