Intel rumoured to be launching new smartphone and tablet chips at MWC 2014



Intel is reportedly preparing to launch two new lines of mobile processors at the 2014 Mobile World Congress, to be held in Barcelona next week. According to a leaked roadplan, Intel will launch a new Atom series for smartphones, codenamed Merrifield, and an update to the Bay Trail tablet platform codenamed Bay Trail-T.

Bay Trail was Intel's first out-of-order architecture for low-powered devices. Now, Bay Trail-T will mark the introduction of a 64-bit architecture to Intel's tablet offerings. Integrated system-on-a-chip processors based on Bay Trail-T will feature four cores running at up to 2.1GHz, with DirectX 11-class integrated graphics and support for dual-channel DDR3 RAM. Initial SoC products, codenamed Valleyview, will be aimed at Android tablets and will enter the market as Intel Atom Z3xxx parts. Valleyview will feature improved HD video encoding and decoding, and will support display resolutions of up to 2560x1600.

Bay Trail-T is projected to offer performance gains of up to 60 percent compared to the previous generation Clover Trail. Typical devices with Bay Trail-T CPUs should be able to stay on standby for 20 days or play video for 11 hours between charges.
