Intel company intend to accelerate the announcement of budget platforms with low energy consumption level , known under the code names Shelton (desktop version) and Menlow (mobile version).
Today intel company presented two brands, which will be used in series products silverthorne generation . First, the processors silverthorne and Diamondville obtain the trade mark Intel atom. In the second place, the mobile platform menlow obtains the designation Intel centrino atom.
The Processor has a small core area 25 sq. mm and contains 47 million transistors. These processors will be released on 45 nm technology with high- k dielectrics. TDP Values will be from 0.6 W for model with 500 MHz frequency to 2.5 W for model with 1.8 GHz frequency .
The single core version diamondville will be called atom 230, it will operate at 1.6 GHz frequency , equipped with 512 KB cache in the second level, and support 533 MHz system bus. TDP Value for this model will be equal to 4 W. Dual core version will obtain TDP not more than 8 W.
Let us recall that atom processors family support dual thread processing, in some sense reviving the technology hyper-Threading. Related Products :
