Today, in China has started the spring session of Intel developers conference - IDF 2015. Intel announced at the event Processor Intel Atom x3, which may well have been officially presented at the Mobile Congress MWC 2015. At that time, the company said on models Atom x5 / x7, in which was based on 14-nanometer architecture Airmont. Actually, today at IDF 2015 managed to learn a few interesting details about the generation of Atom processors Airmont.
As previously reported, the model 14-nm processors Atom x5 / x7 will form the base of tablets running Windows 8.1, in particular on the Intel Atom x7 (model x7-Z8700) assembled tablet Microsoft Surface 3. According to the source, referring to the company, the architectural changes in Airmont computing cores compared with the architecture cores Silvermont are virtually none. Significant innovation in the transition to a new generation of Atom processors was an increase in the number of graphic blocks EU executive from 4 pieces to 16 pieces.
In all of this, Intel managed to squeeze four core dimensions of crystals Atom Airmont compared to Atom Silvermont by as much as 64%! This was due to the transition from 22 nm to 14 nm topology. Intel has made great efforts to redesign certain blocks also. Related Products :
