INTEL has announced the availability of the third generation mobile Atom processor-based platform, previously known by its codename, Cedar Trail.
The new generation of Intel Atom processor-based platforms introduces several new features for low-power designs such as netbooks, retail and healthcare IT devices. It is based on 32nm process technology.
In the new platform, dual-core Intel Atom processor N2600 and Intel Atom processor N2800 are paired with the Intel NM10 Express Chipset. Overall, this features a small form factor package size that saves system board real estate and enables thinner netbook designs.
New power management features allow for a potential boost of up to 20 percent performance and battery life compared to second generation technology.
Netbooks based on this platform offer up to 10 hours of battery life, weeks of standby and full 1080p high-definition video.
The integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3600/3650 combined with the integrated memory controller provides enhanced performance and system responsiveness, including an improvement in graphics performance up to 2X compared to the previous generation platform.
Other features include the Intel Smart Connect Technology which enables instant Internet connectivity as soon as the netbook is opened. Email, Twitter and RSS feeds automatically update even in sleep more.
Start up from standby mode is also said to be faster, helping conserve battery life.
Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo, Samsung and Toshiba are some of the manufacturers who are poised to debut systems using the new platform in early 2012.
