The second day of autumn session IDF in 2013 was devoted to Bay Trail platform based on 22-nm SoC-processor architecture Silvermont. Traditionally, all of the previous platform associated with this class are Intel Atom processor line . From that point on, things are changing. Now SoC Intel also apply to laptops and desktops, where they fall under the brands of Celeron and Pentium. In addition to increased productivity, which enables the new atoms to penetrate the PC segment, Silvermont architecture has compatibility with Android and Windows. Manufacturers of tablets on new Atom Z3000, for example, can produce a device with one of the above-mentioned operating systems, as well as directly with the two.
Overall growth performance compared to previous models, Intel Atom Z2000 estimates twice in relation to computing cores and three times in relation to the integrated graphics core. We are also interested to learn how Atom Z3000 behave compared with the current competitive solutions based on ARM. In most Intel is confident of superiority Silvermont cores and Intel HD Graphics. Below, we provide a couple of graphs on which processors Intel Z3000 was compared to Qualcomm processors .
Note the graphics core Intel still slightly inferior in performance to Qualcomm graphics.
Another interesting feature of SoC Intel Atom Z3000 can be considered as an expanded technology support Intel Burst Technology 2.0. Smart energy redistribution occurs not only between the core and the basic building blocks, but also between the units responsible for the work with displays and WEB-cameras. The assemblies are becoming more and more difficult, so keep the TDP within boundaries is more and more difficult.
As for the positioning of SoC Intel Atom Z3000, then Intel sees them in tablet with the price lower than $ 199 and screens from 7 to 11.6 inches diagonal (for Android or Windows 8). Another question is whether the manufacturers are willing to produce tablets at this price?
For convertible notebook, just laptops, desktops and all in one pc the company will offer Bay Trail M platform in the form of models Pentium N3510 Celeron N2910, N2810 and N2805. In the form of laptops Bay Trail M platform hits the market at a price not less than $ 199. Laptops Bay Trail M with touch screens will cost between $ 250 and above, and convertible laptops - from $ 349.
Finally, the platform Bay Trail D will be released in the form of processor Pentium J2850, Intel Celeron J1850 and Intel Celeron J1750. These models are designed for desktop systems. The cost of system units based on them will start from $ 199. But this is not the usual desktop. Related Products :
