SYDNEY, Australia, April 12, 2011 \u2013 Intel Corporation today announced that the Intel\u00ae Atom\u2122 platform, formerly codenamed \u201cOak Trail,\u201d is now available and will be in devices starting in May and throughout 2011. Over 35 innovative tablet and hybrid designs from companies including Evolve III*, Fujitsu Limited*, Lenovo*, Motion Computing*, Razer*, and Viliv* are based on \u201cOak Trail\u201d and running a variety of operating systems.<\/p>\n
In addition, at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing, the company will give a sneak peak of its next-generation, 32nm Intel Atom platform, currently codenamed \u201cCedar Trail.\u201d This solution will help to enable a new wave of fanless, cool and quiet, sleek and innovative netbooks, entry-level desktops and all-in-one designs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new Intel Atom \u2018Oak Trail\u2019 platform, with \u2018Cedar Trail\u2019 to follow, are examples of our continued commitment to bring amazing personal and mobile experiences to netbook and tablet devices, delivering architectural enhancements for longer battery life and greater performance,\u201d said Doug Davis, vice president and general manager of the Netbook and Tablet Group at Intel. \u201cWe are accelerating the Intel Atom product line to now move faster than Moore\u2019s law, bringing new products to market on three process technologies in the next three years.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new Intel Atom processor Z670, part of the \u201cOak Trail\u201d platform, delivers improved video playback, fast Internet browsing and longer battery life, without sacrificing performance. The rich media experience available with \u201cOak Trail\u201d includes support for 1080p video decode, as well as HDMI. The platform also supports Adobe* Flash, enabling rich content and Flash-based gaming.<\/p>\n
With these significant improvements in power-efficient performance, the Intel Atom processor Z670 allows applications to run on various operating systems, including Google* Android*, MeeGo* and Windows*. This unique flexibility delivers both new experiences and more choice when it comes to tablets and hybrid designs that combine the best features of the netbook and tablet together.<\/p>\n
The platform also helps deliver smaller, thinner and more efficient devices by packing integrated graphics and the memory controller directly onto the processor die. The processor is 60 per cent smaller than previous generations with a lower-power design for fanless devices as well as up to all-day battery life1. Additional features include Intel\u00ae Enhanced Deeper Sleep that saves more power during periods of inactivity as well as optimised Intel SpeedStep\u00ae technology. An integrated HD decode engine enables smooth 1080p HD video playback at a fraction of the power consumption.<\/p>\n
In addition, Intel Atom Z670 processors come with the Intel\u00ae SM35 Express Chipset, delivering a lead-free2, halogen-free3 design with high-speed USB 2.0 for greater performance and Intel\u00ae High-Definition Audio to enable premium home theatre sound.<\/p>\n
Also ideal for small form-factor and portable embedded designs, the platform provides an excellent solution for a range of tablets in retail, medical and industrial applications. Solutions such as mobile clinical assistants allow medical staff to directly input data into patients\u2019 electronic files and avoid paper charting. This can result in a reduction in errors, better workflow, higher productivity and reduced paper handling and overhead costs. In addition to the Intel Atom Z670, Intel is offering the Intel\u00ae AtomTM processor Z650 for embedded devices with 7-year lifecycle support on Windows and MeeGo operating systems.<\/p>\n
Based on Intel\u2019s leading-edge 32nm process technology, the next-generation \u201cCedar Trail\u201d platform will 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. New features will include Intel\u00ae Wireless Music, Intel\u00ae Wireless Display, PC Synch and Fast Boot. In addition, the enhancements made in power consumption and TDP will enable fanless designs with longer battery life. This means great acoustics without the hum of a fan and improved ruggedness and aesthetics of the design. Intel is currently sampling \u201cCedar Trail\u201d to all major OEMs and ODMs. Users can look forward to a new generation of innovative mobile and desktop designs based on the \u201cCedar Trail\u201d platform in the second half of 2011.<\/p>\n
