Intel’s Atom Cloverview Chip Release Aimed To Coincide With Windows 8
Intel has been working on a next-generation chipset which they’re hoping to release when Microsoft releases their Windows 8 operating system. The Atom chip is designed to work in tablets, netbooks and other low-end devices – Windows 8 OS is also designed to run on touchscreen tablets as well as laptops and desktops. Fancy that. The new-generation chip dubbed Cloverview is meant to take over Inte’s Atom Oak Trail chip and is the first Atom processor to be built with a 32nm design. Read more after the break.
Seeing as Intel will want Cloverview to compete with the current low-power ARM-based chips, we can safely assume that it will generate less heat and use less power whilst running higher performance graphics than its Atom predecessors. Cloverview won’t be taking over all things Atom however. Intel’s N and D series, whom of which uses up more electricity but gives off higher performance computing on netbooks, budget laptops and desktops will still be around. Unfortunately there isn’t much more information about Intel’s Atom Cloverview processing chip, but I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about it the closer we get to seeing a Windows 8 tab.
