Numbers fall for the next generation of Intel Mobile processors for tablets and smartphones. The competition has the concern to be?
A few days ago we had some information - sum any enough light and without tangible evidence - concerning the future rise in power of Intel in the world of mobility. First, remember that Intel made its small domestic household to create four departments, to cover all the needs of the mobile devices of today and tomorrow. The four departments are therefore named like this: Mobile & Communications, Mobile Wireless, Netbook & Tablet PC and Ultra-mobility.
The first Department is currently coached by Mike Bell and Hermann Eul and all the early work of this branch materialize by the property named Medfield, mobile processor with the 32 nm. As mentioned, this all-in-one chip is designed to compete with the big names in the ARM as Nvidia chip and its Tegra and Qualcomm and its Snapdragon, to quote them in front.
Figures fell on the canvas and we report that a Medfield processor for Tablet would already be and would show very good performance. Running at 1.6 GHz coupled with 1 GB of LP-DDR2 and responsible natively WiFi, Bluetooth and FM Radio, it has been tested in a model of Tablet 10.1 inches of a definition of 1280 x 800, but turn the details, here are the figures...
The tests were performed on Android 3.2 Honeycomb and with Caffeinemark 3. Intel processor worthily displayed a score of 10,500. For comparison, Nvidia with its Tegra 2 monte to 7.500 and Qualcomm with its Snapdragon MSM8260 arrives at 8,000. The current leader with 8,500 points, Samsung with its Exynos is overwrite. We of course look Tegra 3 results to compare to those of the chip Intel's Medfield.
If the performance is therefore under good auspices, what the consumer? Because it is one of the points which makes it particularly interesting ARM chips. The prototype in question would display a consumption of 2.6 Watts in idle with 2 Watts target term. Read movie in 720 p with the Adobe Flash player, it would consume 3.6 Watts with a target to 2.6 Watts, what appears to be a good start. A reminder, the Tegra 2 would consume 3 Watts under the same conditions. Now, there is still some work for Intel to finalize this chip and convince the major manufacturers of mobile devices.
