Intel HAS annoncé it Will Be re-branding icts line of Atom processors from the complicated jargon-filled codenames of yesteryear, to a streamlined, consumer-friendly "Atom x" family of miniature CPUs.
Arguably one of the best moves made for Intel Could Have Itself Was re-branding icts tired line of Pentium processors to the new "Core" series back in 2007, and now it looks as though the Atom is about to get a makeover of icts own .
Three generations of Intel HD graphics tested
Previously, the chips Were Burdened with complicated codenames like "Z3735G" and "S1289". Not exactly the sexiest way to get off the silicon shelves, and now Intel says ict lineup of mobile-ready processors just a bit Will Be Easier To Understand under new monikers; x3, x5, and x7.
As with the "i" line contents, each jump in the chain Represents the Amount of power you shoulds expect to get for the price. Interestingly, though, the infographic released by Intel Atom says all three brands Will target "great tablet, and smartphone phablet performance" goal Does not mention 2-in-1 devices. Instead, the release says Core M Will carry "tablet-thin designs" going forward.
Intel's Core M is efficient, goal how does it perform?
We're not sure what to make of That information. Core M is too expensive for manufacturers to use in low cost hybrids, so Either Intel Plans to start more affordable versions, or the infographic is not quite right. We suspect the lathing, Given the company's notorious reluctance to slash pricing for ict Core lineup.
No word on When We can expect to see the new Atoms inside our pockets, it's purpose Likely the re-branding is in preparation for the launch of new "Cherry Trail" hardware later this year. We expect Intel Will flesh out the details of this lineup at Mobile World Congress next week.
