NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
-
Over 35 innovative "Oak Trail" design wins from customers including
Evolve III*,
Fujitsu Limited *,Lenovo *, Motion Computing*, Razer*, and Viliv* available starting in May and throughout 2011. - "Cedar Trail," Intel's upcoming netbook and entry-level desktop platform, will deliver features including Intel® Wireless Music, Intel® Wireless Display, PC Synch and Fast Boot, as well as improvements in media, graphics and power consumption.
- Innovation beyond the PC: Embedded Intel Atom Z670 creates smaller, thinner, fanless devices for mobile clinical assistants, industrial tablets and portable point-of-sales devices.
-
Intel is accelerating its Atom product line to move faster than Moore's law, bringing new products to market on three process technologies in the next 3 years. -
Atom platforms harness Intel's unique "operating system of choice"
strategy for
Google * Chrome* and Android*, MeeGo* and Windows*, delivering personalized experiences.
In addition, at the
"The new Intel Atom ‘Oak Trail' platform, with ‘Cedar Trail' to follow,
are examples of our continued commitment to bring amazing personal and
mobile experiences to netbook and tablet devices, delivering
architectural enhancements for longer battery life and greater
performance," said
The new Intel Atom processor Z670, part of the "Oak Trail" platform, delivers improved video playback, fast Internet browsing and longer battery life, without sacrificing performance. The rich media experience available with "Oak Trail" includes support for 1080p video decode, as well as HDMI. The platform also supports Adobe* Flash, enabling rich content and Flash-based gaming.
With these significant improvements in power-efficient performance, the
Intel Atom processor Z670 allows applications to run on various
operating systems, including
The platform also helps deliver smaller, thinner and more efficient devices by packing integrated graphics and the memory controller directly onto the processor die. The processor is 60 percent smaller than previous generations with a lower-power design for fanless devices as well as up to all-day battery life 1. Additional features include Intel® Enhanced Deeper Sleep that saves more power during periods of inactivity as well as optimized Intel SpeedStep® technology. An integrated HD decode engine enables smooth 1080p HD video playback at a fraction of the power consumption.
In addition, Intel Atom Z670 processors come with the Intel® SM35 Express Chipset, delivering a lead-free2, halogen-free3 design with high-speed USB 2.0 for greater performance and Intel® High-Definition Audio to enable premium home theater sound.
Also ideal for small form-factor and portable embedded designs, the
platform provides an excellent solution for a range of tablets in
retail, medical and industrial applications. Solutions such as mobile
clinical assistants allow medical staff to directly input data into
patients' electronic files and avoid paper charting. This can result in
a reduction in errors, better workflow, higher productivity and reduced
paper handling and overhead costs. In addition to the Intel Atom Z670,
Based on Intel's leading-edge 32nm process technology, the
next-generation "Cedar Trail" platform will feature improvements in
graphics capabilities including Blu-ray 2.0 support, a dedicated media
engine for full 1080p playback and additional digital display options
including HDMI output and DisplayPort. New features will include Intel®
Wireless Music, Intel® Wireless Display, PC Synch and Fast Boot. In
addition, the enhancements made in power consumption and TDP will enable
fanless designs with longer battery life. This means great acoustics
without the hum of a fan and improved ruggedness and aesthetics of the
design.
