Intel has always been very careful and specific with its ultrabook guidelines. There isn’t much lee-way and the standards are high. Intel has just set the bar even higher. Now the coveted designation of Ultrabook in the 4th generation will only be bestowed upon devices with touchscreens and Intel wireless displays.
Ultrabooks also have to slim down “from inches to millimeters” as Intel said. The Haswell CPU was designed with the 4th generation of Intel ultrabooks in mind. Intel has a very specific vision for ultrabooks which also includes long, all-day battery life. The low power Haswell works toward this vision.
