Having already established a name among the desktop PC’s core processor and the laptop and net book core processor developers, Intel
is a well established giant in the computer software market. Its
processors have revolutionized PC’s all over the world and with
successful collaborations with Acer, DELL, HP, and Samsung etc; the
company has been able to cater to masses on a global scale.
With a well developed reputation for excellence, Intel has finally
taken the leap from PC’s, laptops and net books towards the upcoming
trend of smartphones and tablets. The amount of functions and apps that smartphones and tablets are expected to do nowadays is enough to make
them to be seen as a type of pocket pc that allows people to function on
the go.
This factor can make the processor of many tablets and smartphones
get scrutinized by buyers before they choose to make a purchase.
Unfortunately, there have been many who frown upon the processors being
used as they are deemed inadequate to support the best useable
applications and provide multi-tasking functions with ease.
For this reason, the Intel corporation giants have finally woken up
and announced a plan to launch a new kind of Intel processor powered
phone known as the Intel Atom Z2420 but also codenamed Lexington. The
smart phone is power packed bundle with an Intel Atom core processor and
features such as Intel’s Wireless Display technology, support for FM
and hardware that supports 1080p acceleration for videos along 5 mega
pixel camera which is capable of capturing 7 shots within a second.
To support such high performing features, Intel has equipped the
phone with a processor that provides speeds of up to 1.2GHz with the
help of Hyper Threading. With an Intel XMM 6265HSPA, the modem is able
to support a dual SIM feature which was an aspect that Intel was careful
to include due to the nature of Intel’s target audience.
Due to Intel’s history of developing excellent
performance processors Safaricom, Acer and Lava have already signed up
with Intel for the right to use the Intel Atom Z2420 in their upcoming
products. With an upcoming update to the Intel Atom processor with the
Intel Atom Z580 processor consumers can wait to get their hands on these
products.
For tablets, the Intel launched a new SoC – System on Chip, 22nm Atom
processor. The new platform, namely the Bay Trail is said to double the
power and speed up procession of any existing Atom Z2760. Although
tablets are much more closer in functionality to PC’s and laptops, Intel
has not had to make or announce too many changes for its existing
processors.
