Win board might eventually wins iPad Intel 14nm Atom chip shipments

in Las Vegas CES 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show, Intel announced a number of new products, the new generation of 14nm process technology, especially for laptops, 2-in-1 device, Ultrabook This, Chromebook and one desktop PC design and small new fifth-generation Core Duo mobile processor. But Intel has not forgotten poor record Tablet PC, and also released more details about the Cherry Trail platform chip.



　　Intel's latest-mentioned Cherry Trail platform, actually occurred in the past two years, Intel's roadmap several times, the platform was transformed in 2013 can be described as a new generation of Bay Trail platform chip's successor, according to the wiring diagram should look at 2014 In debut in the second half, but the frustration Intel Core M will shift the focus had to be postponed until now. The platform is designed for the Tablet PC, compared to the previous generation of Bay Trail platform provides better energy performance, and the CPU and GPU performance boost.

Intel said, Cherry Trail Atom processor platform for a new generation of chips will be officially announced the first half of 2015, and has now started shipping. If all goes well, carrying the Tablet PC platform chip products, small or low-end 2-in-1 PC, TV boxes, etc. will officially debut in the second half of 2015.

　　There is no doubt that Intel has the world's most advanced process technology. When companies are still competing for the world's 20nm process chip orders, Intel 14nm process has been fully turned up. More importantly, after last year's improvement, and now can not yield a low-volume shipments of the problem has been resolved, Broadwell architecture products in addition to the Core M, this CES Conference has released a mobile version of the Core i products, I believe Soon desktop version will follow.

　　Cherry Trail is also based on the latest 14nm manufacturing process, the previous generation of Bay Trail is a 22nm process, at the same time, Cherry Trail platform will integrate Intel's self-developed XMM 726x Modem (modem), Cat.6 level support LTE-A network, download speeds peak up to 300Mbps. In addition, Cherry Trai platform also introduces Intel's new development RealSense 3D "context aware" technology.

Compare Unfortunately, Intel did not mention Cherry Trai performance details. However, from the point of view before Intel announced slides, Cherry Trai platform chip than the Bay Trai platform provides 3D graphics performance boost of about 2 times or so, and lower power consumption, performance of each tile to provide more excellent than the previous generation .

　　The online broke the news or information to display, Cherry Trai CPU thanks in part to new technology platform will be saving about 50% in the fourth nuclear power plant thread, the highest frequency raised to 2.7GHz, support LPDDR3-1600 / DDR3L-RS-1600 memory, maximum 8GB, bandwidth to 25.6GB / s. GPU part using Gen8 generation architecture, the underlying redo, support for DirectX 11.1, OpenGL 4.2, OpenGL ES 3.0, OpenCL 1.2, video output support DisplayPort 1.2, eDP 1.4, HDMI 1.4b, supports 4K × 2K / 24fps video output.

About Cherry Trail processor platform specific models and detailed specifications, is expected to be officially released it will be a further announcement, the chip will be able to determine that the platform supports both Windows and Android operating systems.
