Microsoft plans to release next Monday for faster Internet access copies “Pine Trail” Atom processor, in order to access this market to add some performance.
The major PC makers are expected to be announced the adoption of this new processor, new products. According to a person familiar with this news, Intel will launch the N470 Atom processor and the current 1.66GHz processor, the N450 is almost, but the speed increased to 1.83GHz.
Improve the speed of each point is helpful, but when compared with other mainstream processor chips, Atom processor’s performance has been limited. With the mainstream Core 2 and Core i mobile processors, the Intel Atom processor, used for a different architecture, providing a higher energy efficiency, but low performance. Atom processors are generally used for the price at 350 dollars or less access to this, almost all single-core processor, while the faster dual-core processor for mainstream notebook PCs.
Intel launched late last year, the latest “Pine Trail” Atom processor, integrated graphics chip functionality. Before this function is a separate chip.
According to the relevant news that Intel may plan will be launched before the middle of this year for the high-end smart phones and mobile Internet devices in the new “Moorestown” Atom processor. However, as the “New York Times”, as first reported, Intel and TSMC has been temporarily suspended between the relations of production based on the Atom processor.
It is familiar with the relationship between the two chip-making giant, who said the joint production of TSMC and Intel processors for handheld devices has not been a lot of user requirements. For these two companies, to find the right product, engineering and intellectual property portfolio has always been a challenge.
