Intel seriously took the promotion of their products in the market of Tablet PCs and smart phones. Intel made four independent units: Mobile Communications, Mobile Wireless, Netbook & Tablet PC and Ultra-Mobility - were merged into one, Mobile and Communications.
At the head of the new office were Mike Bell and Hermann Eul . The first product, which will be released by this unit will be the processor Medfield , first single-chip system Intel. .
Thus, the frequency of x86-compatible processor cores Medfield is equals to 1.6 GHz, the tablet is also equipped with 1 GB of RAM LP-DDR2, wireless connectivity, memory card slot, and a 10.1-inch screen has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. All tests were performed on the operating system Google Android 3.x, while serial devices initially will use OS version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
In the benchmark Caffeinemark 3 Medfield scored 10,500 points. For comparison, the result of NVIDIA Tegra 2 is approximately 7500 points, Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260 get 8000, and Samsung Exynos 8500 points.
The Prototype tablet consumes about 2.6 watts in standby mode (the developers are trying to reduce this figure to 2.0 watts), and during video playback at 720p consumption increases up to 3.6 watts (target - 2.6 watts). Perhaps, Intel will offer a really attractive alternative to ARM processors .
