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.
