The base of the new platform Intel for smartphones promise to be 22-nm processors Merrifield (line Atom). Announcement or the first public demonstration of the new products will take place at the end of February 2013 at the annual event in Barcelona - at Mobile World Congress (2013). Modern Intel Atom platform for smartphone - 32nm Medfield - was quite modest in demand. Atom smartphones released individual producers, the largest of which can be considered only Lenovo and ZTE.
Recently appeared the first unofficial test results of Merrifield. The developer of benchmark for testing graphics systems devices on Google Android - NenaMark2 (OpenGL, ES 2.0) - gave the test results of the integrated graphics core in Merrifield. The test showed that Intel product codenamed Redhookbay with screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels running Android 4.2.1 Jelly gave an average 58.3 frames per second. This is a typical result for the core Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX 544MP.
More interesting is the test result of a dual-core 2 GHz Merrifield in the popular Android-benchmark AnTuTu Benchmark. The processor Intel Atom Merrifield made 31,612 marks, double the performance of one of the most powerful on AnTuTu Benchmark version - model Huawei U9508 (15 556 points, processor K3V2, 4 cores, 1.4 GHz).
