Two new Intel Atom processor

Friday, April 10, 2009

At the Beijing IDF, which program because of the economic crisis has been reduced to one day, the company introduced several new products Intel. Thus, celebrating the first anniversary of the issuance of an incredibly popular processor Intel Atom, Intel vice president and general director of Ultra Mobility Group Anand Chandraseher (Anand Chandrasekher) introduced two new processors for mobile Internet devices (Mobile Internet Devices - MIDs).

So, the models were announced Z550 and Z515. Intel Atom Z550 - the most powerful ruler (2 GHz clock speed). It implemented the technology Intel Hyperthreading, allowing to increase productivity in the energy consumption of less than 3 Watts. Intel Atom Z515 supports Intel Burst Performance (BPT), which dynamically controls the clock frequency of the nuclei, depending on current needs.

Also in the report Chandraseher first demonstrated a working platform for the new generation, code-named Moorestown, based on Intel Atom processors and designed for mobile Internet devices. Specialist Intel highlighted the energy potential of this platform, which requires 10 times less power in standby mode compared to a similar platform based on Intel Atom, which is currently in use. This breakthrough was made possible by the fabrication of transistors with dielectrics Hi-k, the development of 45-nanometer manufacturing process and application of new power management technology.

In 2010, the Moorestown platform will be a «system on a chip» (System on Chip, SoC), code-named Lincroft, which incorporate the kernel processor Intel Atom, produced by 45-nm technology, graphics subsystem, memory controller and input / the withdrawal, code-named Langwell. Complementing the platform operating environment with the open source Moblin, manufacturers will have the possibility of creating devices that offer rich opportunities to work on the Internet that are comparable to the capacity of the PC. However, such devices could easily be adapted for mobile voice communications.
