Intel’s
next generation Atom processors with new CPU architecture will be up to three
times faster and five times more power efficient than its predecessor chips,
and are up in sleeves to break away the common notion that ARM processors are
more power efficient- Intel said in a web cast organized for investors and
media, reports Times Of India.
The
CPU architecture, code named as ‘Silvermont’ will be incorporated in Smartphones,
tablets, PCs and servers starting this year and would form the basis for its
next-generation Atom microprocessors called Bay Trail and Merrifield.
While
Bay Trail, is to appear in tablets by end of the year, Merrifield would be
available inside Smartphones in the first quarter of 2014. They will support
the Android and Microsoft operating systems.
Currently
ARM makes the core technology that is used by companies like
Qualcomm, Nvidia,
MediaTek, Apple and Samsung to create microprocessors for phones and tablets.
Though Intel’s Atom processors which have performance that is comparable to
ARM-based chips, they seem to suffer from the lack of interest from companies
that make phones and tablets.
