Recently, we briefly acquainted with some of the characteristics of 14-nm generation Atom processors Cherry Trail , which will be released next year.
Intel reduced the power consumption of mobile devices based on the latest generation of Atom processors. First of all, it reduced the brightness of the backlight with the use of image performance degradation . Secondly, it is a dynamic change of screen refresh rate - to work with this feature needs compatible display panel. If the picture is changing rapidly, then the maximum refresh rate is set, but if the screen is visible only static desktop, then it decreases. If the picture is static, the GPU is switched off . Fourth, the computational core and the graphics system Cherry Trail dynamically manage their frequencies for a more effective power spending.
One of the most important news is the increase in the number of Cherry Trail graphics execution units ny four times - from four to sixteen pieces. In addition, It provides support DirectX 11.1, OpenGL 4.2, OpenCL 1.2 and OGL ES 3.0, as well as more modern codecs.
