Intel introduces new quad-core Atom with built-in LTE
Intel introduced the first major upgrade to its Atom line of mobile chipsets with the Bay Trail-T SoC, which features a new microarchitecture and Intel's brand new LTE modem.
The new microarchitecture is called Silvermont and is built on a 22nm process, matching Intel's new Haswell chips. It promises either a 3x performance increase or a 5x energy saving over the current Atoms, depending on what's needed.
The performance increase will come in the form of better single-threaded performance and up to 8 CPU cores, though the first chipset will be quad-core.
