Intel's participation at Computex Taipei 2011 was marked by some very interesting news in the mobile sector where Intel Core Atom will be used to introduce a new generation of notebook PCs and mobile devices connected. In particular, Intel has defined a new category of mainstream laptops, thin and light, called Ultrabook that by the end of 2012, could already count for 40% of consumer notebooks.
In essence a notebook that is hidden under the brand Ultrabook What's so special? In fact, it's something we already know, in the form of a solution ultra thin & light as the MacBook Air.
Intel, however, adds greater performance, solid state drives, high security and characteristics of the tablet. In fact, this development on the PC has already begun with the second generation Intel Core allowing the creation of products with a thickness of less than 20 mm and are available at prices of $ 1,000 or less.
Made with an all-aluminum chassis has a thickness ranging from 3mm to 17mm with a weight of 1.1 kg. Intel also announced the next generation of processors "Ivy Bridge" which represents the evolution of Sandy Bridge and will arrive in the first half of 2012.
Notebooks based on the "Ivy Bridge" will further improve the energy efficiency factors, graphics performance, response times and safety will be achieved with production technology at 22 nanometer (nm) tri-gate transistor with 3D technology and full support for USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt. The legacy of "Ivy Bridge" will then be collected in 2013, from "Haswell", new processor, which should lead to implementation of systems Ultrabook their apotheosis through a TDP exceptional halve energy consumption compared to the actual parameters.
Intel plans to bring the Atom architecture and 8W TDP ranging from 800mW leaving space between the 10W and 95W for traditional CPUs. To do so, however, need a change of architecture, what we will find exactly with Haswell. Particular attention has been paid on the evolution of Atom processors, which Intel has about decided to pull out a development each year.
The Atom processor should therefore move in three years, the 32-nm process technology to 14 nm than in the aim to reduce consumption and make the product more attractive to the tablet platform, netbooks and smartphones. Meanwhile, Intel is preparing the arrival of the next generation netbook platform, code-named "Cedar Trail," based on 32 nm technology and able to work with fanless cooling systems and use technologies Intel Rapid Start the rapid recovery from suspension, Intel Smart Connect, which keeps the system up to date and Intel Wireless Display and PC Synch, that allows users to update and synchronize documents, standard and multimedia content among multiple devices remotely.
The future of Intel's 32 nm platform designed for smartphones and Tablet PCs will be called, finally, "Medfield". This will be optimized for high performance and lower power consumption for the management of multimedia content and video games in the tablet of the future. A first prototype, presented on the occasion of the Computex 2011, uses the Google Android 3.0 platform and evolve into a commercial product with less than 9 mm thick weighing about 0.7 kilograms.
