IDF Beijing is around the corner starting on April 12th and we’ll be there to cover all the action! The session details of the conference have revealed that the new generation of the Atom processor is going to be unveiled. Its going to be a session that we in mobile computing keep a close eye on since AMD’s Fusion CPUs have made graphics performance an area that Intel is going to have to address.
Here’s the detail from the session catalogue:
Designing a New Generation of Netbooks with the Intel® Atom™ Processor Based Platform
This session will introduce a new set of platform features and innovations that will allow HW manufacturers and developers the opportunity to build the next generation of exciting netbook designs that will delight the consumer. In addition, attendees will get first looks at the next generation Intel® Atom™ processor based platform.
Topics covered in this session:
• Platform capabilities enabled by Intel® WiFi solutions that deliver new netbook usage models
• Features and benefits overview of the next generation Intel Atom processor based platform
• Thermal solutions for cool and quiet fanless netbook designs
• Exciting demonstrations
IDF is going to be an interesting show as we’re also going to be seeing a number of Intel devices running Android. Chippy over at UMPCPortal has given some analysis of Cedar Trail, which I have to agree with. IDF Beijing is shaping up to be a big show, actually it better be, this is not the year to be conservative as the competition that AMD is brining to the market can not be ignored.
