Apparently, Intel does not have time to release a processor for smartphones in 2010, as planned. Technology director Justin Rattner (Justin Rattner) said in
an interview with Wired.com that the first smartphones with an Atom processor will be presented at CES in January 2011.
As you know, the first mobile chip codenamed
Moorestown was shown by Intel in May 2010. Chip with 140 million transistors will be manufactured by 45-nanometer process technology.
In the "sleep" mode, Moorestown consumes only 21 milliwatts, that is, 50 times less than the current Atom processors for netbooks. In surfing the web mode - 115 milliwatts. Thus, a smartphone on an Intel processor can last more than 10 days in sleep mode, two days in the continuous audio playback mode and 4-5 hours in the surfing and video viewing mode.
