Both CPUs feature Intel Turbo Boost Technology clocking maximum speeds up to 3.3GHz and 3.6GHz, respectively. In addition, graphics performance has increased by 34% thanks to the new Intel HD 4600 graphics, which supports DirectX 11.1, OpenCL 1.2 and OpenGL 4.0, and features an improved decoder for 4K videos and the fast Quick Sync encoder.
