New Chromebooks running Intel’s latest Haswell processors are expected to be announced at the Intel Developer Forum this week, according to a source familiar with the plans.
Chromebooks are thin and light laptops based on Google’s Chrome OS and aimed at people who do most of their computing on the Web. Some of the new models will use Intel’s fourth-generation Core processors, code-named Haswell, providing a boost to application performance.
Chromebooks are currently sold by Google, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Acer, and Samsung. Additional PC makers are expected to join the fray when the new systems are announced this week, according to the source.
Details of the new Chromebooks will be shared Wednesday morning at an IDF keynote by Doug Fisher, general manager of Intel’s software and services group. A Google executive is expected to join him on stage to talk about how Google is working with Intel to optimize Android and Chrome software for Intel chips.
