Haswell chips made waves when their supported devices offered longer battery life than any other devices. That is just the tip of the iceberg.

Intel is now preparing for a new set of Haswell chips that can extend battery life longer that what their predecessors promised.

Intel declared that they will be extending the battery life of hybrid PCs and tablets that run on their microprocessors. The company will be releasing a new line of low-power Haswell chips later this year. Specifically, Intel will start shipping the Core Y Series running with 4.5 watts through a metric called SDP (scenario design power) during the last quarter of the year.

The SDP technology allows the chip to measure the amount of power used to generate heat while using the device. This can measure how much power the device runs on depending on the apps used. Intel will be offering the chip both on touch and mobile gadgets.

In fact, the watt figure is lower than what the chip giant envisioned. According to Dan Snyder, Intel spokesman, they were aiming for Core Y chips with a 6-watt SDP. For some time, the leading chip company has gone under scrunity for using SDP comparatively different from the common and widely recognized TDP or Thermal Design Power.

In their defense, Intel said that TDP is not relevant or as effective on products like tablets. The design of tablets and other mobile offerings are on a different scale than laptops. Advanced Micro Devices and other competitors disagree.

Once hybrid PCs and tablets start running with the 4.5 watt Core chips then they can have as much as nine hours of battery life despite active use. Intel also indicated that they will be releasing 6-watt Core Y processors for personal computers using fans.
