Intel Medfield: The New CHIP on the Block

Today, the boys must be hearing the term 'Medfield you very much. So, what is the Medfield?

If you have a vague idea of ​​'chips' and' microprocessor market, you would know that Intel is one of the major market leaders. Laptops and PCs from leading manufacturers such as Toshiba, Dell, Lenovo, etc. use Intel chips to power their bodies that made Intel one of the undisputed leaders in this segment. So what smartphone on the market then?

Intel, for some reason, it is not really aimed at the smartphone market, which has thrown up a huge opportunity for companies like Qualcomm and ARM to leave their mark in this segment. Today, they are one of the undisputed leaders in this market, and even for the last quarter earned huge revenues and has also made ​​huge profits from sales of smartphone chips. The reason is obvious increasing tendency of people to purchase the smartphone. ARM and Qualcomm probably has forecasted that then and now are reaping their rewards. So, as Intel?

It seems that Intel has finally realized his mistake and are now focused on gaining a slice of 'smartphone chips' market share. They are going to be with their first SOC (System-on-Chip) in this godini.Platforma for this SPC is called 'Medfield' and SoC itself is called 'Penwell'. Thus, "spc Penwell 'ready to take on established players like Exynos and Tegra? Let's find out.

Intel has demonstrated the strength of its new SOC pitting him against devices like the Samsung Galaxy and Nexus have won appreciation svima.SoC seems to have a 1.6 GHz single-core Atom Z2460 processor (CPU) and 400 MHz Power VR SGX 540 (GPU). In standardized tests, such as 'Sunspider JavaScript' and 'Browsermark' and Intel's SoC beat the current leader (TI OMAP 4460 in the Galaxy Nexus) is a pretty good margin. While 'Galaxy Nexus' scored at 97 381 'Browsermark' and Intel's SoC Penwell achieve better 116,425th As you already know, the CPU is fully responsible for the remarkable performance on these tests and demonstration of such a performance, it seems that the single-core 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor (also called 'Saltwell') is better than TI's OMAP dual-core 1.2 GHz processor. I guess the old man had some wise tricks up his sleeve!

Basically, what it feels like a kind of echo in this amazing GPU selection of SPC is that Intel has made, the power of VR SGX 540th It's really strange why manufacturers like Samsung and Intel are opting to go for this GPU Technologies of the imagination 'as is almost 2 years since the first debuted on the market. But what really makes the Power VR SGX 540 in Intel's SoC better than other 540s Power VR SGX is here that the GPU runs at a higher frequency: 400 MHz. Hopefully, it should do better in Intel's SOC.

Well it's pretty clear that, when Intel debuted with this selection of smartphones on the market a year ago, it would definitely have a great advantage, and they are probably rubbing shoulders with the current leaders such as ARM and Qualcomm as far as 'Smartphone Chip' market is concerned. Basically, as the saying goes: "Better late than never." Initial reviews suggest that Intel's first offer is most definitely not bad and will only get better when the company comes out with its dual-core offerings. It would actually be the beginning of a new era as Intel is concerned.

Stay tuned ..!
