Intel introduces the first 32-nanometer Atom

Intel introduces the first 32-nanometer Atom


Norco MITX-6874
Image: Norco in the current price list of Intel's Atom D2700 for $ 52
and the atomic D2500 for $ 42 have surfaced, and these two Cedarview
atom from the 32-nanometer production are therefore cheaper than its
predecessor D525 atom (63 U.S. dollars). Both the nuclear D2700 at 2.13
GHz and 1.86 GHz with the D2500 has two cores, each with 512 KB of L2
cache, but only the D2700 supports Hyper-Threading. This is revealed by
the corresponding entries in the product database ark.intel.com.

Actually, the atomic-list prices are not so important, because consumers
can not individually soldered these processors, but only buy fixed on
motherboards. On top of that Intel would grant depending on market
conditions and significant quantity discounts, especially since AMD has
with E-350 and E-450 powerful competitors in the market. Intel's
low-cost dual-core, however, are more economical: 10 Watt TDP is at
Intel, added still the familiar single-chip "chipset" NM10 up to 2.1
watts. The low TDP enables passive cooling in enclosures large enough -
it was the D525 with 13 Watts. For netbooks are probably more
economical, but also expects slower Cedarview atom. The RAM control the
new atom with up to 533 MHz in (DDR3-1066/PC3-8500) are, but they
exclusively designed for SO-DIMMs, despite 64-bit function, the maximum
amount of RAM to 4 GB is limited. The hardware virtualization VT-x by
the atom will continue to support, not even on the AES encryption
accelerator-NI will be without one.

For the integrated GPU in the Cedarview atom are still lacking important
information, when they should in any case D2700 nuclear work at 640 MHz
and can drive two displays, including digital via HDMI or DVI.
Speculation revealed that Intel now works at the desktop and netbook
atom back to a graphics core by Imagination Technologies, PowerVR SGX545
namely, which potentially supports DirectX 10.1. And HD video
acceleration is now to be integrated. The new netbook with Atom and
certain wireless chips will also dominate Wireless Display (WiDi) to
HDMI display or audio system to control a wireless receiver box. In the
previous Z-and E atom (GMA 500/600) puts the well-known of ARM SoCs
PowerVR SGX535, while the 3150 GMA in Atom N455 or D525 chipset G31 is
descended from the old and merely DirectX 9.0c and OpenGL 1.5 supported.

A Specification Update of the new CPU family has already surfaced. Thus
even the netbook versions N2800 and N2600 come with 1.86 GHz to 1.6 GHz.
Unlike the D-versions of the N-types and their frequency will also
supply its power and ultimately reduce their power consumption during
operation.

At Computex, Intel Mini-ITX boards already shown with atomic D2700,
about the D2700MT (Marshal Town) in the "Thin Mini-ITX" form factor for
flat and housing for use with a single DC voltage. In the Support
section of the Intel website soon find BIOS updates for other boards
called D2700MU, D2700MUD, and D2500HN D2500HND and references and
D2500CC D2700DC. Although the netbook boom has subsided in the
industrialized countries, Intel recorded significant growth in the atom,
apparently well, thanks to cheap PCs. But the Embeddded system
specialist with the Norco has MITX-6874 also have a Cedar Trail Board on
offer - Cedar Trail is called the Intel platform Cedarview atom and the
NM10.
