It's already known that Intel is working on 32nm Atom processors, the first Atom chips designed for smatphones and tablets by Intel. While Intel keep quiet on the specifications of the processor, folks over at VR-Zone published some details about its performance.
Details of this 32nm chip based on the medfield platform(company's first true SoC and first true highly-integrated-solution), was found running on a 10.1-inch reference tablet with 1280 x 800 pixel display and it points out some of the specifications of the chip. The device reportedly has a 1.6 GHz x86 processor, 1GB RAM and runs on Android Honeycomb OS. And they offer Android 4.0 ICS as well.
Acccording to the source, the performance of the tablet is better than an NVIDIA Tegra 2, Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260 or Samsung Exynos processor in the Caffeinemark 3 benchmark.
This first ever Atom processor from Intel to become "becoming mobile" uses just 2.6W in idle mode and they are planning to reduce it to 2W, sounds good right?
Let's wait for devices with this ultimate Atom power from Intel.
