Watch out Qualcomm, Intel is finally launching a chip that could give it a decent share in the mobile market. Aside from the new Hashwell solutions for PCs, the chip making giant also announced next-generation of Atom chips with support of up to 8 cores, though the first chipset will be a quad-core one. When compared to current Atoms, the new microarchitecture called Silvermont — built on a 22nm process — promises 3 times performance increase or 5 times energy savings, depending on the smartphone/tablet’s current needs.
Even better, the LTE connectivity support comes built-in (Intel XMM 7160 multimode-multiband LTE) and so does “superior graphics” for devices running either Android or Windows 8.1. That said, these chips may also find its way in some lower-end laptops and desktops.
