What’s new? – Windows-10-IoT-weeks & Intel’s plans this year

The topic which is soon on everyone’s lips: Windows 10 IoT. Yay! In addition we want to make a small trip into the world of Intel and provide a short view on Coffee Lake which is the 8th generation of the Core-i-processors. Also the upgrade of the Kaby-Lake-Pentium-processors is going to be a thing this year.

The most important first: Windows 10 IoT

As already indicated there is some good news: Our customers are already making use of our expanded OS-offer due to the so called Internet of Things. In the upcoming weeks we will feed our blog regularly with entries about Windows 10 IoT. So much is said: Not only those who want to spend as little money as possible are going to be really happy. Also software cracks and everyone who wants to be one will find plenty of readworthy stuff.

By the way: Mounting brackets now available for our spo-book CORE!

Our small digital signage power pack, the spo-book CORE, can now also be delivered with a wall bracket according to VESA standards for a small extra charge. The great thing about this is that the CORE can be easily hooked onto the mounting options of the wall bracket. How the whole thing looks in real? Find some images on the bottom of this article!

Intel "Coffee Lake": The 8th generation is supposed to be released in 2017

Intel recently announced that the 8th generation of the Core-i-processors called "Coffee Lake" shall be released during the second half of this year. A performance increase of more than 15 percent is expected. Intel still lays low regarding codenames and clock frequencies. We can hardly wait for more information!

Even better than expected: The Pentium version of the “Kaby Lake” processors

Intel is clearly upgrading the 7th generation (Kaby Lake) of its processors. Thanks to Hyper-Threading, the entry-level CPUs offer significantly better results than their predecessors called Skylake, which can be clearly seen in some rendering software. If you would like to know what is behind the term "Hyper-Threading", simply take a look at our blog entry:

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise: Introduction

What actually is Windows 10 IoT Enterprise? Broadly speaking: It is the Embedded version of Windows 10. But stop: We should not be discouraged by this comparison. While Windows Embedded was often seen as too complicated, Microsoft has changed and simplified a lot of things with the introduction of Windows 10 IoT. So Windows 10 in the IoT variant is suitable for almost everyone.
