Intel announces 22nm Atom Merrifield, Moorefield 64-bit mobile SoCs and new LTE modem XMM 7260


Intel has proclaimed 2 64-bit chips in its Atom line of processors at the Mobile World Congress in city. The new chips embrace the 22nm dual-core Z3460 / Z3480 and quad-core Z3560 / Z3580 SoCs that square measure code-named Merrifield and Moorefield severally. These chips square measure supported Intel’s Silvermont micro-architecture that is targetted at smartphones and tablets. Moorefield SoC is targetted at Android-based mobile devices.

The Intel Atom Z3480 is clocked at a pair of.13GHz whereas the Atom Z3460 is clocked at one.6GHz. each these SoCs can have a dual-core processors. it'll be seen in devices within the second quarter this year. It options support for up to 4GB of LPDDR RAM running at 533MHz, support for golem four.4.2 KitKat and a zealous video signal processor. The Intel Atom Z3480/Z3460 will sport Imagination Technology’s PowerVR Series vi GPU with quad-cluster 3D graphics. This SoC are going to be paired with Intel’s XMM 7160LTE platform.

Merrifield is that the initial Intel Atom SoC to feature the new Intel Integrated detector resolution, that expeditiously manages detector knowledge to stay applications good and contextually aware even once the device is in an exceedingly low-power state. this will be used for motion, gesture, location, audio sensing on an occasional power mode, thereby serving to save battery life.

The Intel Atom Z3560 and Z3580, or Moorefield, square measure clocked at one.8GHz and 2.3GHz severally. each SoCs can have a quad-core processor and that they are going to be seen on mobile devices within the half of the year. it'll accompany Intel’s second generation LTE platform that was conjointly proclaimed nowadays – the XMM 7260.
