Intel Demonstrates World’s First Working ‘Moorestown’ Platform
At the Inte Developer Forum in Taipei, Taiwan, Anand Chandrasekher cited the Intel Atom processor, the upcoming “Nehalem” processor, and the Intel “Moorestown” platform scheduled for the 2009-2010 timeframe as prime examples of innovation and technology leadership. Also highlighted was the progress Intel is making in the Mobile Internet Devices (MID) market segment with the world’s first working “Moorestown” platform demonstration.
Moorestown comprises of an SOC, codenamed “Lincroft,” which integrates the 45nm processor, graphics, memory controller and video encode/decode onto a single chip and an I/O hub codenamed “Langwell”, which supports a range of I/O ports to connect with wireless, storage, and display components in addition to incorporating several board level functions. Chandrasekher stated that Intel is on track to reduce Moorestown platform idle power by more than 10x compared to the first-generation MIDs based on the Intel Atom processor.
