Clover Trail will not work under Linux
Intel has confirmed that they will not provide Linux support for the new Clover Trail Atom chipset.
During IDF 2012, Clover Trail could be seen in a variety of laptops, and Intel told a lot of details about it, confirming the number of cores and power saving states. However, Intel said that Clover Trail is a “Windows 8-only chipset” and that “This chipset cannot work under Linux”
The fact that it will not work under Linux is not entirely true: this is just an ordinary x86-compatible processor, but it looks like we will not wait for drivers and support from Intel.
Intel didn’t disclose the details, but simply mumbled in the spirit: "You need to write software to keep this OS alive."

And the chip is cool: it can completely disable the kernels in the last P and C states.
