Several new Chrome-based devices, powered by Intel’s latest processors based on the Haswell microarchitecture, were unveiled Wednesday at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco.
A post on Google’s official Chrome blog showed off four new devices using the new processor, including Chromebooks from HP, Toshiba and Acer, as well as a Chromebox from Asus.

According to Chromebook product manager Caesar Sengupta, the new processors will not only require less power for the cloud-centric laptops, but also deliver within the range of two times more battery life, as well as overall improved performance.
During the presentation, Intel Vice President Doug Fisher was joined on stage by Google senior vice president Sundar Pichai. In a statement commenting on the unveiling of some of the new hardware, Fisher said, "Our strategy is to help ensure Intel architecture offers the best experience across all devices, operating environments and price points."
