Match three

Similar to Bejeweled, Candy Crush Saga asks you to match three candies (at least) to make them disappear.

More than matching

Special candies and out-of-the-box objectives take Candy Crush Saga beyond the typical match-three style of game.

Costly upgrades

The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade.
