Intel Announces Detailed Shipment Specifications for 32nm Atom

Intel today officially announced that the new-generation 32nm Atom D2000/N2000 series processors, code-named Cedar Trail, are officially shipping to provide a compact, compact, portable computing experience and longer battery life at a low price. Related equipment will be released in early 2012, and the cooperation OEM manufacturers include: Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, Toshiba.

The Cedar Trail platform is a two-chip design like the previous generation Pine Trail. The Atom D2000/N2000 series processors integrate two CPU cores, a GPU graphics core, a single-channel DDR3 memory controller, a display controller, a video unit, and an NM10 chipset. Four x1 PCI-E channels, two SATA 3Gbps interfaces, eight USB 2.0 interfaces, Intel HD audio, Intel 82574L/82583V Gigabit network, and other input and output are provided.

32nm Atom supports MPEG-2/VC-1/AVC/H in video and audio. 264 and other encoding formats such as 1080p full HD video decoding and Bluetooth 2.0 technology (partial), can output VGA, LVDS, HDMI, DP, eDP and support digital dual-screen display, higher performance, higher frequency, faster memory, power consumption Lower, fanless design possible.

According to Intel, the performance of the new platform is up to 28% over the old platform, the graphics performance is more than doubled, the overall performance is up to 18%, 1080p/24FPS Full HD video can be played at a low occupancy rate, and the leisure game frame rate exceeds 60FPS, thermal design power consumption up to 50%, battery life up to 10 hours.

In terms of featured technologies, the new platform will support Wireless Display wireless display and Wireless Music wireless music. With suitable wireless devices, you can seamlessly share videos, photos, or stream music to home speaker systems.

Smart Connect smart connection technology allows users to instantly connect to the Internet when they open the Internet, and automatically update e-mail, Weibo, RSS subscriptions and other content in hibernation mode.

Rapid Start quick start technology allows the device to quickly recover from standby mode, extending battery life.

In addition, in the operating system, support for Windows, Linux, MeeGo, Tizen. Obviously, MeeGo has not been completely abandoned by Intel, but I don't know if Tizen can make a difference.

The desktop version of the Atom D2700/D2500 has already been announced as early as the end of September, and specifications will not be discussed here again. Focus on the two mobile versions:

Atom N2800: dual-core four-threaded, clocked at 1.86GHz, secondary cache 512KB×2, integrated graphics core GMA 3650, frequency 640MHz, supports DX9, memory supports single-channel DDR3-1066, maximum capacity 4GB, thermal design power consumption 6.5W , for the pursuit of performance of the Internet devices.

Atom N2600: dual-core four-threaded, clocked at 1.60GHz, secondary cache 512KB×2, integrated graphics core GMA 3600, frequency 400MHz, supports DX9, memory supports single-channel DDR3-800, maximum capacity 2GB, thermal design power 3.5W For fanless silent devices.

Atom N2800/N2600 are manufactured using 32nm process, 437-ball FCBGA 22 x 22mm package (as is the Atom D2000 series), power state support C0-C6 (Desktop version C0-C1), core temperature range 0-70 °C, Tj Temperature range 0-90°C.

Both continue with the NM10 chipset, single-chip design, 493-ball FCPGA 14 x 14mm package, thermal design power consumption 1.5W, and core temperature range 0-70°C. With the processor, the actual power consumption of the entire platform is about 2.62 W and 1.90 W on average.

In terms of price, the recommended channel price for the Atom N2800/N2600/D2700 processor is $47, $42, and $52 (D2500 undisclosed). The NM10 chipset is priced at $20. In addition, the Atom N2800/D2700+NM10 combination development kit is priced. It is $249 and will be provided within a month.

In addition, Intel also talked about a new strategy for netbooks, dividing the three different levels: US$199-299 is a low-cost, small-sized notebook, and about 299 US dollars are some high-performance thin and light devices. In the past, US$399 was a new touch-enabled device. Shape equipment, which is closer to the tablet.

Intel expects that netbooks will show shrinking trend in developed countries such as North America, Europe, Japan and South Korea, and the Russian market will remain stable. There will still be room for growth in Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia Pacific region.
