Intel Atom E3900 - a new generation of processors for the “Internet of things”
The speed with which Intel represents products and technologies for the Internet of Things, clearly demonstrates how important this area of the market is for the company. However, whatever one may say, the basis of a computer of any kind is the processor, so news about the appearance of the next generation of processors is awaited with particular interest. So nice to tell us that this moment has come. The Internet of Things has received a new platform - Intel Atom E3900 series processors. And with them - new features and capabilities.
The new series consists of three models: Intel Atom x5-E3930, Intel Atom x5-E3940, Intel Atom x7-E3950. The processors are made on 14-nm technology in the FCBGA1296 package, have 4 (younger 2) cores and a maximum frequency of 1.8-2.0 GHz. Highlight the major improvements compared with the previous generation.
The main "growth area" of the new Intel Atom is graphic capabilities. Automotive (and many other) applications of the “Internet of Things” require quick and accurate manipulation of graphic data. The E3900 can decode up to 15 1080p30 streams simultaneously, record 1080p60 video, and display an image simultaneously on 3 monitors with a 4k resolution. The overall performance, of course, also increased - by 1.7 times compared with its predecessors.

The new technology, developed specifically for the “Internet of Things” - Intel Time Coordinated Computing Technology (Intel TCCT) - coordinates and synchronizes the peripherals and network devices of interacting systems. Thus, all connected devices start working in tact, like one system on a chip, reducing delays in transmitting information up to 1 microsecond.
Because smart devices have to work in a wide variety of environments, the Intel Atom E3900 supports an extended operating temperature range, from -40 ° C to 110 ° C.
According to calculations by Cisco, by 2020, the “Internet of things” devices will produce 44 trillion gigabytes of information annually. So that the communication channels do not burst from such a monstrous data flow, now it is necessary to figure out which functions we can delegate to process and analyze this data “into places”. This is where the new Intel Atom E3900 comes in - small and powerful, with a TDP of about 6 watts capable of rolling up whole mountains of information.
According to forecasts, serial samples of the Intel Atom E3900 will be available in Q1 2017.
