hello
readers,
Intel
is serious about getting a piece of the handheld action this time - they
announced two new processors and chipsets to join what's already powering the
likes of the Lenovo K800 and the Orange Santa Clara
The
first processor is called Atom Z2580 and features two cores (the same Medfield
design like the fist one) with HyperThreading allowing the processor to run
four threads simultaneously. It will be clocked at 1.3GHz, potentially going up
to 1.8GHz with Turbo Boosts.
It's
paired with a powerful GPU too - PowerVR SGX544MP2, which is supposed to double
the performance of an SGX543MP2 found in the iPhone 4S. Intel have their own
LTE-capable modem that will work with the Atom Z2580 and all these components
will be shown off in a brand new reference design.
With
a little luck, it will go the way of the Santa Clara and be offered as a
consumer phone too. However, that's unlikely to happen before the first half of
2013 at the earliest .
The
second chipset includes the Atom Z2000, a low-end single-core processor running
at 1GHz and without HyperThreading. There's a downclocked SGX540 GPU and an
Intel-made HSPA+ modem.
The
Atom Z2000 will get its own reference design and will target low-end phones.
There's no word on availability, but probably won't be soon either..
