BANGALORE (PTI): Intel Corporation on Thursday announced the availability of the latest mobile Intel Atom processor-based platform, formerly codenamed “Cedar Trail.”
Designed to provide small, compact, on-the-go computing with great battery life at an affordable price, the latest platform adds several new features to netbook computers made popular by students, families, and those looking for light productivity and Internet browsing, the company said in a statement.
These devices would be available in early 2012 from major OEMs including Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, and Toshiba.
The new design’s dedicated media engine enables full 1080p high-definition playback of videos and Blu-Ray content and includes additional digital display and output options including HDMI and DisplayPort, it said.
The integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3600/3650 combined with the integrated memory controller provides enhanced performance and system responsiveness, including an improvement in graphics performance up to 2X compared to the previous generation platform, it added.
“Systems based on the new Intel Atom processors may have up to 10 hours of battery life and weeks of standby, allowing for all-day use between charges. Additionally, Intel increased processor and overall system performance while reducing power consumption up to 20 per cent compared to the previous platform”, the statement added.
