Intel goes soc on the energy-saving Atom-architecture to be based, not only under the brand name ‘Atom’ on the market: there are also Atom-chips in the Celeron and Pentium line for laptops and desktops. It is going to be Atom Bay Trail-soc.
There are Atom Bay Trail-M chips for notebooks and Bay Trail-D soc for desktops, with the brand name Pentium, and Celeron are referred to, says Intel at Computerworld. Until now, Pentiums and Celerons, both chips for the instapsegment, on the architecture of the standard line of Intel processors based. Now that the Ivy Bridge generation, but Intel is on the point of Haswell. Or there are also Pentiums and Celerons on the basis of Haswell come out is not known.
As a reason for the decision is called Intel the “innovations and the flexibility of the Silvermont architecture.” Intel introduced Silvermont-processorachitectuur for Atoms at the beginning of may. Silvermont solves the Saltwell design, which was based on the five-year-old Bonnell-micro-architecture. In contrast to their predecessors, the new chips about out-of-order execution, the performance considerably. Also has the chip in that interface, instead of the obsolete front side bus.
Purpose of Intel was to the consumption significantly to reduce for use in tablets. The Atom was mainly known as the name for the processor of netbooks. With the emergence of tablets and little innovation in netbooks, which have very little computing power at our disposal, is that category of laptops have virtually disappeared. Might want to Intel negative associations with the Atom brand to avoid and is therefore chosen to be the Pentium and Celeron brand names to use for Atom chips. There, among other Android-laptops with Bay Trail chips for $ 200, promises Intel.
