Intel develops new Atom processor specifically for tablet

According to industry sources, Intel has adjusted its 2012 mobile platform roadmap. The 32nm Medfield Atom processor originally intended for use on smartphones and tablets will only appear on smartphones, and tablet computers will be newly developed. Chips to serve.

Sources pointed out that Intel's new tablet processor will strive to compete with ARM, especially in the design of thermal performance and thermal design, but it is still unclear the chip's development code and specifications.

Power consumption is always a long term for ARM processors, but Atom’s most powerful weapon is a more advanced manufacturing process, and it will be updated every year in the future. Therefore, Intel’s smartphone and tablet processor thermal design power consumption will be two years from now. Will fall to only 1W.

In the next three years, Intel will successively release 32nm Saltwell, 22nm Silvermont, and 14nm Airmont.
