Meet World's Smallest Motherboard

Written by IT News on 1:31 AM

Intel has unveiled yet another technological innovation during yesterday's Intel Developer Forum conference. Immediately after the introduction of five new Atom processors, chip manufacturer has shown leaving the cornerstone of an
upcoming mobile devices: a small plateau, some of Moorestown platform.

Intel plans to release Moorestown mobile Internet platform, at some time in 2009 or 2010, but the name appears too often in the very near future, not product. However, Moorestown is a very important card for the company, and it may be his passport in a very crowded market mobile phones.

"Our engineers have been working on a lot of Moorestown, Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Ultra Mobility Group, said at the ISO speech." The platform design teams, it was a lot of work in figuring out what is the small form factor, that they could actually match the full board in a PC, so that they can speak with great experience mobile Internet," he continued.

In Moorestown platform Intellectual first system on-a-chip technology to pack the processor, graphics and memory controller, along with other implementations of silicon in a single processor die.

"What I am holding in my hand, that perhaps the world's smallest PC motherboard," said Chandrasekher. In Moorestown motherboard houses the processor, chipset (including graphics), and memory, as well as silicon for 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, he said. This is the essence of the new machines.

If Intel Moorestown sends to the mobile phone market, it can lead us to new devices with high-speed broadband wireless WiMax, as well as 10 times more energy-efficient units, so you can easily forget the "running low on battery" experience.

The most important disadvantage for us is the fact that, unlike AMD, Intel currently does not have a mobile phone processor business. Advanced Micro Devices has unveiled earlier this year Image online of chips purchased along with the entire intellectual property of the former ATI.
