Intel announced two new Atom CPUs aimed at smartphones and tablets
In a follow up to their Medfield processor unveiled at CES a few weeks ago, Intel on Monday announced two new Atom chips to its mobile phone chip line-up during the company’s Mobile World Congress press event in Barcelona.
The Atom Z series, which was unveiled at CES 2012, previously only featured the Z2460 “Medfield” processor. That was a single-core chip based on the 32nm Penwell architecture famous for powering phones, tablets, low-cost PCs, netbooks and nettops.During this year’s Mobile World Congress, we watched as Orange unveiled the Santa Clara, the first device to sport Intel’s 2GHz Z2460 “Medfield” processor. The silicon giant has now added two more chips to its line-up, the dual-core Atom Z2580 and a low-cost Z2000.
The Atom Z2580 CPU features two cores (the same Medfield design),and will be equally fast with an Intel Xmm 7160 model, LTE and faster HSPA+ capabilities.
The company will begin testing both chipsets in the second half of 2012. However, consumer products are unlikely to happen before the first half of 2013 at the earliest .
