Rumors: Apple is going to release UMPC (UMPC) next year

According to AppleInsider , Apple is going to use the Intel Silverthrone processor coming out next year in a new line of portable devices, and most likely it will be the UMPC (ultra mobile personal computer) and / or the next generation iPhone.

Silverthrone was specially developed by Intel for mobile phones and UMPK, and is unique in that it supports processing speed at the level of the second-generation Pentium M and at the same time consumes 10 times less electricity than the processor of an ordinary laptop. In addition to the above, its production is less expensive than modern processors for mobile devices, which will lead to lower prices for devices where this type of processor will be placed (or prices will remain the same, but manufacturers' profits will increase).

In any case, we should expect something incredible, because Apple has never failed us. And it's not long to wait, MacWorld will take place in a couple of weeks and probably something will be announced. Perhaps this device will be similar to the prototype from Intel (see photo below) which can work without recharging for 24 hours thanks to Silverthrone. Or maybe not, wait and see.
