The Intel Evo certified Swift 5 is powered by the latest 11^th Gen Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i7 processors and is one of the industry’s first devices to be verified through Intel’s Project Athena innovation program as an Intel Evo platform laptop design, developed to deliver the next generation of immersive features which improve the user experience.
