At the Computex show in Taipei last week, Intel Corp. introduced several new products and features based on its low-power Intel Atom processor family. According to Intel, its Atom processor has entered a variety of markets in the last two months taking it well beyond the netbook realm.
For example, Intel highlighted new product plans for the Intel Atom processor family: that included “Pine Trail” mobile dual-core and “Oak Trail” processors optimized for tablets and sleek netbook form factors.
The chipmaker also disclosed a razor-thin “Canoe Lake” innovation platform–a dual-core netbook measuring just 14 millimeters. The company is calling it the world’s thinnest netbook.
At Computex, Intel demonstrated cross-device experiences based on Intel’s unique ‘port of choice’ software strategy, including Windows, MeeGo, and Google operating systems.
Intel also outlined for Computex attendees its plans for expansions. For one thing, the company is planning a future System on a Chip (SoC) version of the Atom processor. It will deliver PC-like computing platforms for cars, smartphones, handhelds, TVs, tablets, and more on a choice of software.
