Intel has finally revealed details of Moorestown chip platform, which the company claims could revolutionize smaller devices and enable small devices to run 3G services. Along with the chip, Intel will also be launching a new version of Moblin, a Linux-based OS that has been created for smaller devices.
The chip, according to Intel, will consume 10 times less power when at standby mode when compared with the Atom chips presently being used in smaller devices. Based on the company’s Lincroft System-on-chip platform, Moorestown will include an Atom microprocessor core and a memory controller hub. Along with the Moblin software, the Moorestown chip will give smaller devices the much-needed PC-like experience when on the internet or making calls.
