Intel has launched new Intel Core processors for foldable and dual-screen PCs, among other types of innovative and ultra-light form factors, that are the first to use the chipmaker's Foveros 3D packaging technology and a hybrid CPU architecture.

The new 7-watt sub 18 millimetre sized processors, announced Thursday Australian time, are called Intel Core processors with Intel Hybrid Technology, and the chipmaker is pitching them as game changing for the PC market. The processors were previously known under the code name Lakefield since they were revealed at CES 2019.

The first devices to use the new Lakefield processors are the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold, which is the first PC to feature a folding OLED display and is expected to start shipping this year, and the Samsung Galaxy Book S, which will become in select markets starting this month. Microsoft's dual-screen Surface Neo tablet will also use Lakefield processors, but the device has reportedly been delayed to 2021.

Thanks to Intel's new Foveros 3D packaging technology that allows the company to stack different CPU components in three layers, the processors are dramatically smaller than mobile processors the company has created before.

Compared to the Intel Core i7-8500Y that powers devices like the HP Spectre Folio and Google Pixelbook Go, Lakefield processors have up to a 56 percent smaller package area, enabling a 47 percent smaller board size.
