At Computex 2011, Intel talked about their line of Atom processors, the next generation, designed for netbooks, smartphones and tablets. It is planned that the line of Intel Atom in its development will be able to get ahead of Moore's Law - the transition from 32 nm technology to 22 nm and then to 14 nm is planned for 3 years. The new chips promise to be more compact and energy efficient. More specifically, the netbook is a new platform Intel Cedar Trail, parts of which will be based on a 32-nm technology. It is assumed that netbooks based on it will be able to do passive cooling. New models will have a number of special features, including Intel Rapid Start (a quick exit from standby mode), Intel Smart Connect (installing updates in standby mode), as well as Intel Wireless Display and PC Synch, which will enable wireless synchronization of documents and multimedia files various devices. Finally, it is expected that the battery life of devices on the new platform will exceed 10 hours in active mode and will be a few weeks in standby mode. Platform Intel Cedar Trail will work with operating systems like Windows, Google Chrome and MeeGo. In addition, the exhibition was shown more than 10 tablets, running three different operating systems and processor equipped with Intel Atom Z670. Among them - Intel Green Ridge, Foxconn F150, Quanta QXZI, unnamed model from Compal, Intel Marco Polo 2 and Intel Carrot. They all work on OS Android. In addition, since April 2011 Intel partners have developed more than 35 devices based on the current generation of platforms, including several transformers, sliding devices and devices in other form factors. It is expected that by year's end some of them will go Also we talked about Intel Medfield - the first platform on the basis of 32-m technology for smart phones and tablets. It is optimized for small devices with low energy consumption. Platform capabilities were demonstrated by the example of a device operating on Android 3.0 (Honeycomb). Medfield will create plates no thicker than 9 mm and weighing less than 680 grams. Production is scheduled to begin before the end of this year, and the emergence of the first devices expected in the first half of 2012.
