I do not think are serious doubts about the success of the tablets on the market, but still a lot of pie to be distributed and all relevant stakeholders, from hardware manufacturers to makers of operating systems, are aware of it. Bets on Google and Apple are clearly the winning horses, but we must not forget that Microsoft is preparing its way.
The Redmond, as is customary in operating systems, betting in the first instance by X86 architecture, Intel's hand. Intel readies its latest development within the Atom family, known as Oak Trail, with the internal name of Z670 for higher performance model. Regarding the chip, and as a source of this news has leaked that will cost $ 75, facing manufacturers.
This price represents a value greater than the previous Atoms, and more expensive than other alternatives "Intel does not." The most important comparison we can make the most extended chipset (if we leave aside the chip A4) in the market for tablets: Nvidia Tegra 2. The famous dual-core based on ARM Cortex-A9 is priced at about $ 20 for manufacturers, and balance power / autonomy is difficult to beat for the Intel options.
In short, three times more expensive, so we think Intel really needs to set the new processor prices to be competitive in the market, remember that the hand of Windows 7, also involves the payment of license. If we consider that in addition to Texas Instruments have Nvidia and Qualcomm tablets welcoming the rest of the market, the Intel space is shrinking, not to mention Nvidia's intentions with its Project Kal-El, with four cores before end of the year.
The most prominent features of the Intel Atom Z670 are its 1.66GHz (single core), 512KB of cache and a thermal design power of 5W TDP. Although we speak of a processor, will be distributed within a SoC (System on Chip). Some products already available to use Oak Trail tablets and netbooks are leading manufacturers, good friends at Microsoft, such as Asus, Acer and Samsung.
We highlight some of them as Samsung PC7, the MSI WindPad 100W, or the Fujitsu Stylistic Q550. Oak Intel is not only the hardware that is emerging as ideal for tablets and netbooks running Windows 7 operating system, also referred to MeeGo products that have hit the market. We remind you that Intel is also developing Medfield, a platform-oriented smartphones.
Meegan addition in version 1.2, we anticipate that in the future will support Google's operating system in its current versions, as they are turning to Intel processors. What is curious is that this leak had been reported previously that the price would be about $ 25, a very competitive price for a chipset based on x86 architecture, low power consumption.
For with the use of Meegan, an operating system which does not have to pay license could put affordable products on the market. It seems that the final accounts will go somewhat higher. Track | Fudzilla
