Originally codenamed Poulsbo, the processor platform is Intel's first Atom generation targeted at very small embedded devices and accomplishes the feat by creating a much smaller footprint beyond the processor. A new, smaller system controller package integrates both graphics and th... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/02/intel.atom.z500.series/ Mon, 02 Mar 2009 23:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/12/iphone.moving.to.x86.chips/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/inteliphone.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The Apple iPhone will be migrating from its current processor to something based on Intel's x86 architecture, information suggests. Multiple unnamed sources, including some who were correct about the switch of Macs to Intel technology, say that the iPhone will join Apple's computers within a year or two. More substantial evidence is said to have come out of last week's CeBIT expo in Hannover, Ge... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/12/iphone.moving.to.x86.chips/ Wed, 12 Mar 2008 17:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/03/asus.eee.pc.900/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/asuseeepc900.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />ASUS' rumored 8.9-inch version of the Eee PC has been formally unveiled, say reports from this week's CeBIT expo in Germany. While there is no evidence of WiMAX support, the notebook should be enhanced in a number of other respects, such as a larger trackpad and support for resolutions up to 1024x600. Despite theoretically consuming more power, the new Eee's battery life is said to range between... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/03/asus.eee.pc.900/ Mon, 03 Mar 2008 18:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/02/intel.atom/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/intelatom.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel tonight kicked off Germany's CeBIT expo with the unveiling of Atom, a new processor line specifically tailored towards ultra-mobile PCs, mobile Internet devices (MIDs), and other handhelds. Previously nicknamed either Silverthorne or Diamondville, the processor series is built on the same 45 nanometer manufacturing process as newer Core 2 chips and shares the same instruction set, but is fa... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/02/intel.atom/ Mon, 03 Mar 2008 03:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/26/ubuntu.mobile/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/ubuntumobile.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Canonical today hoped to preempt all comers today with news of Ubuntu Mobile. Its first Linux variant aimed at handhelds, the software is tailored for the Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) expected to launch in spring based on Intel's Silverthorne technology and is designed to recognize basic iPhone-like gestures such as swiping to scroll through menus and websites. A scrolling visual front end bas... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/26/ubuntu.mobile/ Tue, 26 Feb 2008 16:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/21/hp.2133.may.use.via.cpu/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/hpcompaqumpc2133-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />HP's Compaq 2133 ultra-mobile PC may use non-Intel hardware to achieve an exceptionally low price, says an off-hand remark in an article comparing the devices. Although previous leaks have pointed to Intel's Silverthorne forming the backbone of the 8.9-inch miniature notebook, the report claims that at least one version will use a Via processor and sell for $499, putting the computer into the sam... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/21/hp.2133.may.use.via.cpu/ Thu, 21 Feb 2008 18:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/19/hp.compaq.umpc.2133.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/hpcompaqumpc2133-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />HP's inaugural UMPC has already been photographed and received its first early details, according to a leak from Engadget. Resembling a compact notebook rather than the handhelds normally associated with the concept, the Compaq-branded UMPC 2133 will run an 8.9-inch, 1366x768 widescreen display and a nearly full-size keyboard that runs edge to edge. Also defying the normal limits of such compute... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/19/hp.compaq.umpc.2133.leak/ Tue, 19 Feb 2008 19:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/10/samsung.s3c6410.arm.chip/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/samsungarm-apple.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Samsung's semiconductor branch tonight helped launch Barcelona's Mobile World Congress with a new mobile platform destined for smartphones and other high-end handhelds. The S3C6410 merges both a 667MHz ARM processor as well as a hardware Multi Format Codec decoder/encoder block that offloads much of the work that would normally be given to the main CPU. In addition to driving playback of video f... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/10/samsung.s3c6410.arm.chip/ Mon, 11 Feb 2008 04:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/04/intel.silverthorne.details/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/intelmid.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel today supplied additional information about its expected Silverthorne ultra-mobile processors. Speaking at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference, the company has revealed that the 45 nanometer processor will not only be more power-efficient -- consuming between 0.5 and 2 watts at peak use -- but will also be fundamentally compatible with both newer and older technologies. Altho... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/04/intel.silverthorne.details/ Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/21/apple.and.intel.umpc/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0712/intelmid.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple will use the chipsets that form the basis of Intel's ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) and mobile Internet device (MID) reference platforms, according to a claim by AppleInsider. Expanding on previous statements from Taiwan suppliers, the rumor site points to Apple using the 45-nanometer Silverthorne mobile chip for "multiple products" during 2008. The small manufacturing process lets it run as quick... http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/21/apple.and.intel.umpc/ Fri, 21 Dec 2007 15:40:00 GMT
