Intel knits SoCs roadmap for x86

Intel is ready to instruct once more with the infringement with the devices with the system-on-a-piece (Ploughshare), this time with a new line of built-in processors based on the same whole of instruction used in all its products of office and mobiles.

The manufacturer of integrated circuits will release eight new processors of x86-based SoC aimed to safety, storage, and the speed of communication, as well as industrial robotics.

He hopes to address markets currently dominated by the central processing units of treatment Arm-based, an architecture with less compatibility through devices, but that gained considerable traction in because of the market of mobile device of its effectiveness of power.

Intel affirms that because the majority of development of applications of Internet today are made using the whole of instruction x86, the processors are well placed to call upon the mobile devices of next wave.

The company says that it currently has 15 projects of Ploughshare envisaged internally, with the eight first under its family of processor integrated by EP80579. Several of the products are based on the basic core power recently debuted of processor of atom.

We can now deliver the products more strongly integrated extending from industrial robotics and of the systems in-because of infotainment in boxes of place-top, MIDS and other devices, singer known as of Gadi, veep of Intel 'group of mobility of S. conceiving more complex systems there on moreover small pieces, Intel will measure the compatibility of execution, functionality and of software of IA while ordering the total power, the conditions of cost and size to meet the respective market best needs.

Products of EP80579 SoC are based on the processor of Pentium M, the integrated hub of controller of memory, and a series of integrated communications and built-in controllers of input-output. Intel claims the device will have smaller one print of step of council of 45 percent and 34 percent of weak dissipation of power compared with the processors non-integrated of Pentium Mr.

The piece of consumer electronics of company �of S first, called Canmore , is programmed at the end of this year for the introduction. Canmore is the TV and the boxes concerned of place-top and is heir at Intel �, III-based by unfortunate Pentium of S SoC towards the end whose Timna , was announced the Nineties but released forever like produces. It envisages intensify with the with Sodaville with piece the following year.

Intel envisages to launch its platform of the second generation for the mobile devices of Internet called Moorestown and to comprise Lincroft in 2009 or 2010.

Chipzilla indicated that it has 50 customers for the products already, and good number of them had access to them during almost a year. The initial systems using the pieces will arrive this quarter, with more envisaged at the end of this year and the next one. �
