Intel on Thursday officially unveiled its latest 32-nanometer family of processors at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), including the Core i7, i5, and i3 processors, the Intel 5 Series chipsets, and Intel Centrino Wi-Fi and Wimax adapters.

The new processors are aimed at devices like desktops, mobile computing and other integrated devices.

The company also launches its series of embedded devices aimed at improving the performance for enterprise devices like ticket kiosks, ATM machines, self-checkout systems, and medical equipment.

Intel chief executive Paul Otellini claimed, "These advances are bringing us into a new era of computing where we have many devices per person and computing is increasingly [integrated]," Otellini said during a keynote address. "We're focused on making all computing personal".

These i5 and i7 Core processors possess Intel's Turbo Boost technology, designed to automatically enhance performance by adjusting to the workload, providing an extra "boost" in performance when needed. However, the entry-level i3 Core processors are devoid of the Turbo Boost, but do provide HD graphics support built into the processor.

The price tag varies from $225 for a 2.4-GHz Core i5 520M to $332 for a 2.66-GHz Core i7 620M or a 2.13-GHz Core i7 640LM, while desktop versions cost around $113 for a 2.9 GHz Core i5 530 to $284 for a 3.46 GHz Core i5 670. However, cost for the wireless adapters was not disclosed.

Intel is speculated to take advantage of the apps craze with an apps store for netbooks called the Intel AppUp Center, available on Windows- and Linux-based devices.
