Intel Announces Atom Processors for Android Tablets


Intel announced on April 11 that Atom Processors to power Tablet computers running Android, MeeGo or Windows, will start shipping from May onwards.

To begin with the Atom Processors will be based on Intel's 45nm Oak Trail architecture. In the second half of 2011, Intel will make available Atom processors based on its follow-up 32nm Cedar Trail architecture.

Over 35 tablet and hybrid designs from companies including Evolve III, Fujitsu Limited, Lenovo, Motion Computing, Razer, and Viliv will use Oak Trail based Intel processors, like the Atom Z670, running on a variety of operating systems.

The Atom Z670 delivers improved video playback, fast Internet browsing and longer battery life, without sacrificing performance. The Oak Trail platform s supports 1080p video decode, as well as HDMI. It also supports Adobe Flash, enabling rich content and Flash-based gaming.

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.

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.

The Cedar Trail platform, based on Intel's 32nm process technology, will feature reduced power consumption and facilitate fanless designs with longer battery life. Devices based on the platform will be cool and quiet and sleek.

The platform also 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.

Intel is currently sampling "Cedar Trail" to all major OEMs and ODMs. Devices based on the "Cedar Trail" platform will start becoming available in the second half of 2011.

Intel will will give a sneak peak at the Cedar Trail platform at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing.
