Intel's new mobile processor washes the competition based on the ARM architecture
Intel has introduced its new mobile processor.
Not so long ago, desktop PCs also had a large number of 1 GHz CPUs. And today, we are no longer surprised that the heart rate of our phone vibrates at 1 GHz. Such are the newly developed HTCs and Samsung. Now it will be a similar long-awaited Intel solution, which the manufacturer intends for netbooks and smartphones with unique parameters.
On May 4, Intel announced the Z6xx system-on-a-chip from the Atom series, which the manufacturer intends for smartphones and tablet PCs. The new tile, known as Lincroft, is based on the Moorestown platform. This is Intel’s response to the demand for increased performance on mobile devices without sacrificing battery life. The chip is a core design that runs from 1,2 GHz to 1,9 GHz. The processor is made with 45nm manufacturing technology, 140 million transistors crammed into it.
Its integrated graphics accelerator is the Intel GMA600, optimized for mobile use. So the GPU frequency is 400 MHz, it supports OpenGL ES 2.0, 2.1 and Open VG 1.1. It has a hardware accelerator for encoding HD videos (MPEG4 PART2, H.264) (MPEG4, Part2, H.264, WMV, VC1). The highest resolution is 1366 × 768 pixels, where it is possible to choose from the resolution of several panels. 18bit or 24bit (LVDS). With a mobile interface only 1024 × 600, which is also no small amount.
According to Intel, with a Blackberry specific gravity battery, we can talk about 10 days of standby or 5 hours of internet use. The manufacturer also recommends its processor for high-end premium smartphones.
Web speed has improved. It has taken 8-10 seconds to compute JavaScript-rich pages, which is approx. Improved for 2 seconds. It supports three-site conference calls, which is also a curiosity. The only question is, is the provider too? You should know that Intel processors of this type work with ARM architecture and X86 environment.
The next release of the Nokia N900 internet tablet will already be fitted with Lincroft, which Nokia has not yet confirmed, but all we know is that Intel will ship its processor.
What Intel announces is that it is now on the market, available to any manufacturer. That is, by the time the chip is incorporated into a new model, it is well over half a year. If Intel's claims are true, manufacturers specializing in mobile phone chips like Qualcomm, Marvell, Ti could get in big trouble.
