At yesterday’s 2018 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich had to answer some awkward questions. With the Core i3-8121U a first processor in small series in 10 nm is manufactured, but this is missing on a working graphics unit and so should the also emergent Core m3-8114Y be the first fully functioning desktop processor from this production.
