Intel Clover Trail - CPU Tablet 2012

Intel, the previously reported informally, planned in 2012 to introduce a new processor, which could be used in smart phones and tablets. The project was named Medfield. Now the resource Digitimes reports that the "universal" processor will not: Medfield will orientiovan solely on smartphones, but for the larger tablets designed to be platform Intel Clover Trail. Both options will be positioned as an alternative to ARM-processors and will meet the high standards of optimizing energy consumption. As noted, Medfield platform and Clover Trail will not be compatible - it is fundamentally different solutions. DigiTimes also reports on the roadmap processors, developing line of Intel Atom, which details the preliminary information on the gradual reduction of manufacturing process technology of chips every year. In late 2011 or early 2012 will be presented to Saltwell, which will be carried out on 32 nm process technology. Then in 2013, will model Silvermont, which will already be made ​​on the 22-nm process, and in 2014 it will be replaced Airmont, made ​​on 14-nm process technology. It is reported that in versions designed for tablets, Intel plans to bring the maximum TDP of up to 10 watts in the next two years. Successful competition with ARM-processor is at the same time to the time when Microsoft released the Windows operating system 8. Paired with Intel engineers expect it to get the tablets, which could work for much longer than current models running Windows 7 and a series processors Intel Atom.
