These systems offer the portability of a tablet with the full functionality of a laptop in a single form factor, and they're proving much more popular than standalone tablets.

As previously announced, they'll feature Goldmont CPU cores built on the same 14nm manufacturing process as Intel's Airmont cores found...

One of the many benefits of Intel’s strong focus on power efficiency in recent years is that relatively high performance processors are now able to fit into tiny form factors. Case in point, the recently released Intel Compute Stick for 2016.

There’s just not enough space in there for a...
