Intel Corp has officially released the Intel Atom Z670 processor and accompanying “Oak Trail” platform, designed for use in tablets and other mobile computers.
The new CPU and Intel SM35 Express chipset support various 32-bit operating systems, including Windows, Google Chrome, Android, and MeeGo, and enable 1080p playback via incorporated HD video decoder and HDMI output. The Oak Trail platform provides a smaller footprint than previous generations and a lower-power fan-less design for a longer battery life.
Intel’s Atom Z670 processor packs a single 1.5GHz CPU core with HyperThreading support, the Intel GMA 600 400MHz graphics processor, and memory controller on a single die, consuming only 3W of power in total.
The chip maker says the Oak Trail-based devices will hit the market next month. It will be used in devices by Samsung, Asus, Lenovo, Fujitsu, Evolve III, Motion Computing, Razer, Viliv, and others.
