Intel has some information released about the advent of a 32 nanometer produced pc-on-a-chip, which has a dualcore Atom processor and a wi-fi transceiver. At the beginning of next year, the manufacturer with more details.
The chip is the subject of a session, Intel’s executive vice president David Perlmutter at the International Solid State Circuits Conference in February 2012. The full name of the session is “32nm x86 OS-Compliant PC On-Chip With Dual-Core Atom Processor and RF WiFi Transceiver”. Intel clarified that the chip custom interconnects going to contain, in addition to integrated voltage regulators, a beat generator with spread spectrum clock, ” and a special monitoring unit.
The two cores of the Atom would be 1.6 GHz run and the chip would be on 32nm to be produced, but there are no details yet. The session is a few weeks before the start of the Mobile World Congress held, so maybe it is a custom version of the Atom Medfield-soc for smartphones and tablets.
At the International Solid State Circuits Conference will Perlmutter further more disclose about the use of energy efficient technology, such as 3d trigate transistors and near-threshold voltage computing. As for the latter, there would be a demonstration of a processor that 2 mw is used at a voltage of 280mV and a clock speed of 3MHz. At a clock speed of 915MHz and a voltage of 1.2 V would be to use rise to 737mW.
