14 DAY TRIAL // Though the company slogan might be “Intel inside,” if there is anything that can be said about Intel and the smartphone slash tablet market, it is just the opposite: despite its continuing attempts, Intel still finds itself relatively outside it.
However, the guys at Digitimes recently found a leak regarding Intel's road map for mobile platforms. Starting with the 22nm Merrifield SoC, it is said to be planning to boost performance by 50% as well as guaranteeing a longer battery life.
As far as processors go, the new Bay Trail-T processors for tablets will sport speeds of either 1.8GHz and 2.4GHz as well as support for both Windows 8.1 and Android 4.2. There is also a Gen 7 GPU that will soon be launched.
As for 2015, the Morganfield 14nm SoC is said to be a game changer, together with the 14nm Willow Trail architecture for tablets. With Android and Windows support, of course.
