One such form factor is the Falcon Northwest's Tiki microtower, which the company will ultimately upgrade to Haswell.

And it doesn't just mean the traditional 'beige box' PC they're used to is better, this new efficiency is resulting in new form factors," Reeves said.

"The result is a PC that is hugely advanced over what most people are running at home. Large capacity solid-state storage is also much more affordable, which will help make desktops faster and cooler, Reeves said. "If you're like most of the PC-buying public that hasn't purchased a desktop in three or more years, they're in for a really surprising leap in what Intel has done with the PC platform in these past couple generations," Reeves said.ĭesktops with Haswell and more power-efficient graphics processors are smaller, cooler and quieter than previous models. The desktop benefits are less obvious but no less important, Reeves said. The Haswell improvements may matter more on laptops where battery life is important. It's obviously a huge step for laptops where performance-per-watt is paramount," Reeves said. "Haswell adds about the same 10 to 15 percent performance boost that Ivy Bridge took over Sandy Bridge, with yet another big reduction in power and heat generated. Haswell chips provide better speed and power efficiency over third-generation Core chips code-named Ivy Bridge, which shipped last year, said Kelt Reeves, CEO of PC maker Falcon Northwest. Intel is expected to announce more Haswell processors at Computex.

The announcements came on the same day Intel announced its first fourth-generation quad-core Core i7 and i5 chips based on Haswell. Many new PCs will be on display at the Computex trade show in Taipei, which opens Tuesday. The Justice II reduces the fan size to the regular 120 mm, increasing compatibility with other system components, and its mounting system has been revised to allow for better contact with the CPU heatsink.PCs that are cooler, smaller and faster were announced by computer makers Sunday in advance of Computex, with the new machines featuring Intel's speedier fourth-generation Core processors code-named Haswell.Īsus, Cyberpower, and MicroCenter announced all-in-ones, gaming laptops, and desktops with Haswell, with major PC makers like Dell, Acer, and others expected to follow in the coming days. The company's Justice II cooler was also presented, with a more compact, 155 mm design. B to eventually deliver the company's superior cooling performance and efficiency. Still, the company is announcing the Okeanos Rev. B is still being shown as a prototype-type cooler, so it could see some more revisions of some of its design choices. One of the fans is of the 140 mm type (the one in-between the tower heatsinks), while the other is of the 120 mm size, to allow for better compatibility. The Okeanos REV B is a monster of an air cooler, with a dual tower, dual fan design. There's a high performance asymmetrical heatpipe design that better distributes heat through the heatsink, which is then cooled by a 140 mm fan for both silent operation and high air throughput. The Ouranos II is a revised version of their original Ouranos (who would have thunk it), and has been designed precisely to deliver top cooling performance without getting in the way of users' RAM of graphics cards. Reeven at COMPUTEX 2018 showcased various of its air cooling products, including the company's Ouranos II, Justice II, and Okeanos tower coolers, which ally impressive looks with great overall performance.
