Intel Unveils New Low-Power Mobile Chip Designs
英特爾揭露了新低功耗手機晶片設計

Intel revealed its latest low-power chip architecture on Monday, continuing
its push into competing in the mobile space.
Dubbed “Silvermont,” the new design sets its sights squarely on devices
like smartphones and tablets, which obviously have limitations on battery
life and require system-on-a-chip specifications made with energy efficiency
in mind.

The design incorporates Intel’s “tri-gate” 3-D transistor technology
first introduced in 2011, which essentially lets the company create smaller,
faster processors which can perform at a lower voltage with less power leakage.
Intel claims an improvement of around five times lower power consumption over
its current Atom core mobile chips, with three times more peak performance.



“We have the ability to monitor what the power delivery characteristics of
the platform are,” said Belli Kuttanna, Intel fellow and chief architect,
in a briefing with reporters and analysts. From there, “we can change the
limits to where the CPU cores are performing and dynamically adjust the power
budgets.” In other words, it’ll help decrease battery-life consumption.

"我們有能力監控平台的功耗特性"，某某某說。"從這，我們可以調整CPU核心的限制
並動態調整功率額度"，"換句話說，它可以幫助減少電池消耗"

The update is yet another move in Intel’s move toward mobile, a space the
company has sorely lacked. Historically, Intel’s core strength (so to speak)
has been building beefy, high-power processors for desktop computers —
chips that have no business in mobile devices.

But as the industry has shifted to mobile over the past few years,
competitors like ARM Holdings and Nvidia — which specialize in designing
and licensing low-power architecture designs for systems-on-a-chip — have
gained solid ground in the chip space, leaving Intel struggling to catch up.

Intel has continually promised to deliver better mobile results soon. At the
Consumer Electronics Show in January, the company announced that it will
debut new chips aimed at the high and low ends of the Android market.

“We’ve done a lot of work on Android over the past few years,” Dadi
Perlmutter, Intel executive VP and chief product officer, said at the
briefing. “We’ve shipped 12 different phones to market.”

And as Mike Bell, the head of Intel’s mobile chip efforts said in an
interview at D: Dive Into Mobile last month, Intel is getting the hang
of building chips for mobile, and claimed that its chips match and in
some cases exceed ARM-based chips in certain performance and
power-consumption comparisons.

Mobile is clearly a growing priority for Intel, especially as sales of
personal computers, a market it dominates, have crashed to historically
low levels. The decline has started to hit Intel where it counts: In its
quarterly results, which last month showed a year-on-year decline of 25
percent.

Intel’s incoming CEO Brian Krzanich — tapped by its board of directors
last week to succeed Paul Otellini, who is retiring — is said to have won
the job in a joint pitch with incoming president Renée James that includes
using Intel’s world-leading manufacturing capabilities to push chips into
emerging product categories like wearable devices.

Intel plans to introduce the new Silvermont technology later this year.
Shares of Intel were trading down a penny at $23.95 midday.

Intel新款Atom「Silvermont」 最高對應8核











下半年間針對各系列處理器更新



而針對微型伺服器、儲存等資料中心所設計的「Avoton」平台Atom處理器，也將在今年

，在高階伺服器所使用的Xeon系列處理器，Intel也預計將在今年下半年間作更新，並且

導入22nm製程技術，使每瓦運作效能得以提昇。




五分之一功耗三倍效能是三小…
而且支援八核...
intel的核心調控應該比某家好多了
