Intel løfter sløret for nye Atom systemchips

I forbindelse med Intel Developer Forum introducerer firmaet nye systemchips (SoCs), der er baseret på Intel Atom processor-familien (in english).

During keynote presentations at the Intel Developer Forum, Intel Corporation executives outlined several software- and hardware-related efforts as the company intensifies its System-on-a-Chip (SoC) product plans based on the Intel Atom processor family.

Discussing the important role the Intel Atom brand plays in delivering intelligent computing to connected devices everywhere, Doug Davis, vice president and general manager, Embedded and Communications Group. outlined the complete Intel Atom processor line and how the company is delivering solutions based on Intel architecture beyond the PC.


Davis also emphasized how Intel Atom processor-based solutions can provide the ideal platform for Internet connectivity, intelligence, and ease of design with customer port of choice.

During his keynote, Davis launched ‘Tunnel Creek’, a new Intel Atom E600 SoC processor series developed specifically for embedded applications such as in-vehicle infotainment systems for cars, smart grid devices and IP media phones. The SoC integrates additional capabilities onto the chip and features an open interconnect for added flexibility. 

Making it easier to design and customize with these new products, Vendors including OKI Semiconductor, Realtek Semiconductor and STMicroelectronics will offer interconnect chipsets, and other companion silicon offerings from Dialog Semiconductor and ROHM Co. will regulate voltages and synchronize clocks, according to Davis.

Atom processor with a FPGA-die

Davis went on to unveil details of an upcoming new configurable Atom processor, codenamed ‘Stellarton’. The  processor consists of the Atom E600 processor paired with an Altera FPGA on a multi-chip package; which provides additional flexibility for customers who want to incorporate proprietary I/O or acceleration and enabling developers to differentiate their designs by reacting quickly to changing requirements.

Davis also introduced the Intel Atom processor CE4200, formerly codenamed ‘Groveland’, which is designed to help seamlessly integrate the Internet experience with TV.  The SoC includes 3-D support, H.264 high-definition encoding capability for usage models such as ‘sync-and-go’ between networked consumer electronics and portable devices, and multiple input stream support to enable the design of cost-effective home gateway appliances.

To help address regulatory requirements, the SoC features smart power management capabilities that automatically help to turn off parts of the chip when not in use. A software development kit and familiar tools for integrating applications is also available which OEMs can re-use across products, cutting development time. Davis announced ADB, Samsung, Sagemcom and Technicolor plan to build set-top boxes based on the new SoC.

Microsoft, Dell and Visteon joined Davis on stage during his keynote. Microsoft announced they have ported Windows* Embedded Standard 7 and Windows Media Center on Intel architecture and demonstrated prototype devices from Acer and ASUS. Dell previewed their upcoming Intel Atom processor-based Dell convertible mobile device, expected to be available later this year.

Visteon demonstrated the use of the E600 series processor in a next-generation automotive infotainment platform. Davis also highlighted mobility products based on the upcoming Intel SoC, codenamed ‘Oak Trail’. Touting Intel’s port of choice message, mobile device demonstrations included an ExoPC running Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7, a WeTab running MeeGo* and a Cisco Cius running Android.
