Intel's Clover Trail+ (Dual-Core CPU and Graphics Unveiled at MWC 2013)

We find ourselves at another Mobile World Congress, discussing another Intel Atom based smartphone SoC. While last year we were talking about faster and lower performing versions of the Medfield family, this year there’s a new topic for discussion: Clover Trail+.

Here’s where Intel’s codenames start getting a bit confusing. Medfield was the original 32nm Atom SoC for smartphones, while Clover Trail was the 32nm platform for Windows 8 tablets. Clover Trail+ is still a 32nm Atom based SoC but it can be used in phones and tablets.

Architecturally, Clover Trail+ takes the Medfield platform, adds a second CPU core (and leaves Hyper Threading enabled), dramatically improves GPU performance and introduces the same memory controller enhancements that were present in the original Clover Trail. Compared to Clover Trail, CT+ mostly adds improved graphics performance.

Samsung's next Galaxy Tab will have Intel inside, says Reuters

This particular rumor has been swirling for a while already, but Reuters says its own sources are now backing it up: Samsung will switch from an ARM-based design and use Intel as the supplier of the processor inside at least one version of its next 10-inch slate, the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. Word is that Samsung will run Android off Intel's latest x86 Atom architecture, Clover Trail+, which we've so far seen in just a handful of smartphones including the Lenovo K900 and ZTE Geek.

By way of corroboration, Korea Times is reporting the exact same Galaxy Tab 3 rumor and has also quoted an anonymous Intel employee who claimed that the number of Atom engineers based in Korea has ballooned from six last year to as many as 50 personnel today. They're said to be working on "Samsung-related projects with a mission to customize circuits for adaptation in Samsung products" -- which certainly doesn't sound like typical Intel behavior. Korea Times specifically says that Samsung is looking to reduce its reliance on the tricky supply of its own ARM-based Exynos processors, while Intel is offering the Korean giant good prices and cooperation in order to build its mobile market share. This all tallies with the idea of Atom coming to some high volume Android products -- and it's very possible that we'll see proof of that at Computex next week.

Intel a 'vender ao desbarato', com margens muito reduzidas, para tentar ganhar mercado aos ARM?



A AMD devia pensar em fazer o mesmo [aposta neste segmento e tentar acompanhar fabricantes de perto, tal como fez com a Sony para a PS4]... nem que seja fazer valer da capacidade/tecnologia no lado dos gpu's para fazer um APU... com ARM..
 
Só se alguém queria fazer do TM um mini-portátil........ Excel e word num mini ecrân deve ser giro deve......
Pode haver sempre o argumento de se ver filmes enquanto se vai de autocarro para o emprego.......
 
Ver filmes - mesmo 1080p - enquanto se vai para algum lado, ou parado, já faz com um qualquer 'telemóvel' ou tablet com ARM dual 'decente'.
 
Liguem o telemóvel a uma dock/tablet on the move ou a uma dock c/thunderbolt quando chegam a casa e voilá. Têm máquina que serve para boa parte das pessoas. talvez não para a maior parte de quem anda por este fórum... mas para muitos com certeza
 
Para alguns casos, e com o tempo/melhoramento da coisa para todos, nem é necessário ligar a nada.

Algo tipo allshare cast para passar a imagem para tv/monitor 'grande' e também com a novas normas wireless nem será necessário ligar 'por fios' a nada para ter velocidade de transferência de dados muito boa.
