New York: Chip giant Intel has officially released of its latest Atom platform, codenamed Cedar Trail and it will replace the existing ‘Pine Trail’-based CPUs found in current netbooks, nettops and all-in-one PCs.
The company issued a statement stating that this new series will be based on the 32nm fabrication process, just like Sandy Bridge.
This helps drop the power consumption and you have the liberty to bump up the clock speeds. It will still be using the older NM10 chipset, but with added features like Intel Rapid Start Technology for faster system resume times, onboard GPU that now supports 1080p video decoding, support for DisplayPort and HDMI 1.3a and finally DDR3 memory support up to 4GB.
The Cedar Trail processor will run on netbooks produced by OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) such as Acer, Asus, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Samsung and Toshiba.
These devices will boast up to 10 hours of battery life and weeks of standby time, as power consumption has been reduced by 20 percent than the previous Atom iteration, Oak Trail, it added.
Additionally, users will be able to wirelessly stream videos and photos from the netbook to a television, or stream music to speaker sets, the chipmaker pointed out.
Beyond netbooks, though, Intel has been focusing its energies on promoting a new category of laptops called ultrabooks, and had even set up a US$300 million fund to create buzz around these devices.
