At the meeting, Intel announced that the company will add dual-core Intel Atom processors to its netbook platform and is on track for production next week. Based on the Pine Trail platform, and on shelves before this winter holiday shopping season, mobile dual-core Intel Atom processors will deliver a noticeably snappier, more responsive consumer experience in the same compact form factors, and with the same great battery life, Intel said.
Intel also revealed the thin Canoe Lake platform, which will enable the world's thinnest netbooks platforms based on Pine Trail. At just 14mm thin, Canoe Lake can accommodate both Pine Trail single-core and dual-core Intel Atom-based platforms. Enabled by Intel's thermal design, it runs cool and quiet and is up to 50% thinner than the netbooks currently on the market today, Intel said.
Intel Oak Trail, a codename for its upcoming Intel Atom platform optimized for tablets and sleeker netbook form factors due to its reduction in power consumption and thermals will be available to customers early 2011. Oak Trail is optimized for sleek tablet and netbook designs, and will deliver up to a 50% reduction in average power consumption with full HD-video playback and targeting a choice of operating systems including MeeGo, Windows 7 and Google OSes, Intel said.
Intel noted that Asustek Computer is launching the Asus App Store and will be the first manufacturer to ship netbooks pre-installed with a client based on the Intel AppUp Center. These netbooks are scheduled to begin shipping in fall 2010 on all devices running Windows. Asustek also plans to ship netbooks running an open source MeeGo-based operating system at a later date.
Intel continues to invest in the Intel Atom processor for netbooks and entry-level desktops with the addition of DDR3 memory technology support. Intel announced the Intel Atom single-processor N455 and dual-core processor N475 for the netbook market and dual-core processor D525 and single-core processor D425 for entry-level desktops, as well as a variety of form factors including all-in-one PCs, small form factor and standard desktop PCs. Systems available based on the new D525 and D425 processors for entry-level desktop PCs are scheduled to be available beginning June 21.
Intel highlighted its next-generation Intel Atom platform targeted at the high-end smartphone, handheld and tablet market segments. Formerly called Moorestown, the platform brings power reductions for great battery life in small handhelds. The platform includes the Intel Atom Processor Z6xx series (formerly Lincroft SoC) and the Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH) MP20, (formerly Langwell). It also features a dedicated Mixed Signal IC (formerly Briertown) and wireless communications options, including 3G/HSPA.
Intel is enabling a new Smart TV category with the Intel Atom processor CE4100, which integrates broadcast TV with the Internet and personal content. The CE4100 processor is suited for this new category and offers the compute power, world-class HD video and audio support, and advanced graphics to bring personal content, apps, favorite websites and social networks to your TV. Just announced Google TV, a platform based on Android, is a premier example of a Smart TV experience that offers an easy-to-use interface and unique features such as universal search for access to an infinite amount of content in a simple way.
Intel also announced the availability of two unlocked desktop processors, the Intel Core i7-875K and Intel Core i5-655K. These new SKUs are identical to the existing Intel Core i7-870 and Intel Core i5-650 product besides the fact that the core ratios are unlocked to support enhanced performance tuning. The Core i7-875K and Core i5-655K are priced at US$342 and US$216 respectively.
With millions of subscribers and networks growing, 4G WiMAX is starting to enjoy mass market adoption and is expected to cover one-fourth of the globe in the next 2-3 years. As of today more than 500 WiMAX networks exist in 147 countries, with more than 80 vendors offering Mobile WiMAX (802.16e) client device designs and more than 20 major infrastructure vendors, Intel said.
A group of WiMAX industry players recently launched the WiMAX 2 Collaboration Initiative to accelerate the WiMAX technology roadmap in order to meet explosive market demand for mobile broadband services. The WiMAX Forum will add new system profiles for certification later this year to enable vendors to accelerate implementation of new features in an interoperable manner. The forum also announced it would accelerate profile development and certification tests for the next generation of WiMAX, called WiMAX 2, based upon the IEEE 802.16m standard.
