Chinese device maker Pip has launched a new computer with an Intel Atom Cherry Trail processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and an 8.9 inch touchscreen display.

Intel used to release chips on a Tick-Tock schedule, which basically meant that every other chip would use a new manufacturing process. Since 2006 Intel moved from 65nm chips to 45nm, 32nm, 22nm, and 14nm chips in this fashion. But things are different this time around. The company has already released 14nm Broadwell and Skylake chips, […]
