 processor for tablets

Known to all, netbooks or “mini-notebooks” carried in her womb the Intel Atom, a low-power chip but also poor performance, but it serves to fulfill the tasks for which the device is pointed. A platform is very similar to Intel recently launched for the area of ??the tablets, with the first Atom manufactured for use therein.

This is the Z670 model, codenamed Oak Trail, running at 1.5GHz and also has integrated graphics GMA 600, promising support for playback of high definition video (1080p) and also able to include an HDMI output.

The new Atom family member claims to be made specifically for tablets due to size reduction of nearly 60% over other old chips used to netbooks, even to dispense with the need for a fan to dissipate heat generated ideal for thin form of tablets.

According to Intel, we expect about 35 models of new devices using the Z670 in the remainder of 2011, with brands such as Lenovo and Fujitsu as part of those interested in this technology, which gives flexibility to walk various operating systems like Android, Windows and even Intel Meego, so pay attention especially to hybrid models of equipment in that sense.
