Centerton: a real SoC Atom at Intel

Some info about an Atom SoC in 32 nm unveil...

Our colleagues from VR-Zone broadcast since a few days of slides with a new representative in the range of processors Intel Atom. code name: Centerton. It would be an Atom with the 32 nm which would happen in the second quarter of 2012, and that would have the peculiarity to be a real SoC (System on Chip) integrating a CPU dual-core 1.6 GHz (512 KB of cache by heart) and a single-channel memory controller managing the classic DDR3 and low-voltage up to 1333 MHz as well as the ECC.

A processor capable of handling 8 lines PCI Express 2.0, but not directly managing the SATA, USB and Ethernet, requiring the integration of dedicated controllers connected via the PCIe lines. This SoC should display a ranging from 5.7 to 8.1 Watts TDP. With its support for virtualization (VT - x), this Centerton could find multiple applications. Including can expect integrate storage network solutions.
