The Intel Atom Thread

[piesquared]

me too.. in fact this thread is one of the reasons I made a forum account, despite being a long time anandtech reader



not really, this thread is all about intel's mobile chips, not just BT...

Not really, this thread is about Z3770 tested at Anandtech.

Else, moderators will need to unlock all those AMD threads they locked for no reason, and we can change the titles....

You have 2 infractions today, care to go for 3 ?

[witeken]

Then why do Anandtech moderators lock AMD threads that veer 1 word off topic or reach I high number of views/replies?

I don't know. I'm not a moderator.

Back on topic, are there leaks for performance or more information on where Cherry Trail will end up in the mobile SOC world?

Unfortunately, no. The 'best' way to get official information is to follow FPiednoel.

 

[piesquared]

I don't know. I'm not a moderator.

The question was rhetorical, but I think you get the point. Numerous AMD threads are locked, manipulated and split. If we can just updated the thread title that would be great!

Back on topic, are there leaks for performance or more information on where Cherry Trail will end up in the mobile SOC world?

Unfortunately no, but there will be more information around Computex in June.

A detailed update on Cherry Trail may be provided around the middle of this year, likely around the Computex trade show time frame, said Julie Coppernoll, marketing director in Intel’s mobile and communications group.

Unfortunately no, but there will be more information around Computex in June.

Then you should leave cherry trail out of the thread title. It wouldn't be a big deal, except that AMD threads are locked routinely instead of allowing us to change the title of the thread.

Give the conspiracy theory stuff a rest already...

Conspiracy. lol Or is it possible that maybe you are just naïve?

Naïve because I don't agree with your opinion? :\ You're about two steps away from "wake up, sheeple".

 

[Phynaz]

Just report his posts

 

[frozentundra123456]

Highly ironic that someone who just started a thread with a title which is a "complex question fallacy", i.e. loaded question, should be complaining about a thread title.

 

[Lepton87]

I'm not saying you drink red kool aid but maybe someone could get that impression based on post history.

I also got the impression that he supports Putin and that he is spreading red propaganda!

 

[monstercameron]

so baytrail...it is good huh?

 

[piesquared]

Naïve because I don't agree with your opinion? :\ You're about two steps away from "wake up, sheeple".

Conspiracy because I'm questioning why intel threads are handled different than AMD threads? :\ You're about two sips away from drowning in the kool aid.

And you are about one step away from a vacation.

MINIX To Lanuch Intel Bay Trail Mini PC

http://cngadget.info/2014/04/29/minix-to-lanuch-intel-bay-trail-mini-pc

That is good form factor (seen in the picture above), but unfortunately something like that usually ends up being pretty expensive IMO.

Instead, I think I would rather have something like the MiniX NEO X5mini....

or the MINIX NEO G4:

......using an x86 processor like Merrifield.

 

[IntelUser2000]

Do they really need this many models of Atom?

The B2 and B3 steppings are being phased out for the new C-0 ones.

With the B steppings, some SKUs were being seldom used. With the C steppings, they all have its place. The two SKUs with 2-channel memory and LPDDR are premium SKUs.

Then you got the -RS models for lower cost systems, and "F/G" parts for really really cheap parts, with much less I/O capabilities. They want $99 devices so...

Such parts also benefit Intel because they don't have to pay as much contra-revenue(about half) since the overall system costs are lower.

 

[Nothingness]

Unfortunately, no. The 'best' way to get official information is to follow FPiednoel.

Pienoel has made so many claims that were obviously wrong that I'm wondering if he hasn't switched to a pure marketing role

I take the opportunity to thank Sweepr for feeding this thread (and some others too). Even if 3/4 of the products are just uninspiring, keep the news coming guys :thumbsup:

Google and Intel announce new Bay Trail-powered Chromebooks

Today in San Francisco, Google and Intel announced a brand new fleet of Chromebooks in various shapes and sizes. While some of these devices will be powered by Intel’s familiar Haswell processors, the big news today is that the chip maker is bringing its newer Bay Trail platform to Mountain View’s take on the notebook. Partners like ASUS, Lenovo, LG, HP and Acer will all be producing Bay Trail-powered Chromebooks.

Bay Trail processors offer up to 11 hours of battery life, along with a slimmer form factor compared to its predecessors. Intel says that consumers can expect to get their hands this new generation of Chromebooks this summer with prices starting at around $250.

+11 hours battery life in a fanless/thin/lighter design (Bay Trail-M based Chromebooks).

Nice, too bad they dont have a real OS. Can you easily run linux on one of the x86 chromebooks?

Seriously, the chromebooks look so nice in the stores, price is right, good battery life everything you could want except OS flexibility. Cant they make a windows notebook as nice as the chromebooks but with just 50.00 or so tacked on for the windows license? Seems like all windows notebooks in this price range are cheap looking fat form factors with lousy battery life. Still though, no way I would consider a chromebook, ever, but it is a nice design win for Intel, since they are becoming ever more popular.

Do the mounting holes on that thing line up with the holes on the back of a monitor?
