Posted: 13 Sep 2011 02:47 PM PDT


At IDF (Intel Developer Forum) 2011 event, Intel unveiled an Android Tablet Prototype running the next generation of mobile processors codenamed  Medfield which is an upgrade to company’s existing Moorestown platform.

As per a report published by Google, Medfield processor would have a power-efficient version of Atom Processor, integrated within a chip that has been codenamed Penwell for now. Penwell’s Atom-based processor would be able to compute at a clock speed of 1.80GHz and 1.86GHz while Moorestown platform chips a.k.a. Z600 series chips could computer at a clock speed up to 1.5GHz for Smartphones and 1.9GHz for Tablet PCs.

CarryPad blogged to have seen a NFC marking on this Tablet’s back panel.

Just like Haswell microarchitecture processors, Medfield would bring better power efficiency.

What do you think about this Medfield based Android Tablet? Future of Android Tabs?

Intel demos future of computing based on Haswell microarchitecture at IDF 2011

Posted: 13 Sep 2011 11:30 AM PDT


During the IDF (Intel Developer Forum) 2011 event in San Francisco, Intel demoed a solar-powered PC running Windows based on Haswell which is a codename for Intel's next-generation of processor microarchitecture of Sandy Bridge.

Haswell microarchitecture uses the same 22nm process CPUs as Ivy Bridge. It would reduce the power consumption in Ultrabooks by 20x as compared to current designs thus providing ten days of connected standby by 2013.

Intel’s CEO Paul Otellini mentioned that Haswell would further enhance the Ultrabooks utilizing company's revolutionary 3D tri-gate transistors. Not only that, Haswell is confirmed to operate on Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2) instruction set a.k.a. "Haswell New Instructions" including gather, Bit manipulation, Floating Point Multiply Accumulate and FMA3 support.

Ultrabooks running Haswell are expected to release in 2013.

What do you think about this next generation of processor architecture? Are you using second generation of Intel Core processor right now?
