The second generation of Intel platform CULV appear in third quarter

The low index TDP processors Intel CULV resemble for use even in compact and thin mobile computers, where low heat transfer becomes critical. In this regard, there is nothing particularly surprising in the message resource Fudzilla that Intel plans to submit a second version of its platform CULV.
