What's Moorestown?

The Moorestown platform, which will be launched in 2009-2010 with a higher process, more efficient and more powerful energy-saving features and higher integration, is exciting because Intel expects the Moorestown platform to be idle for only 1 of the Atom platform. 10, at the same time greatly improve performance.

Intel now has the mid platform Code Menlow, which consists of the Silverthorne Atom processor and the Poulsbo Sch control chip. And a new generation of Moorestown platform will still be divided into two parts, but the specification changes are large: mainly by a code-named Lincroft of the SOC chip and a code name for the Langwell of the I/O Controller, they play the present cpu+ North Bridge and the role of the South Bridge; At the same time, the chipset also joins the HSPA, 3G wireless network module, while supporting a large number of wireless access technologies, including Wi-Fi, WiMAX, GPS, Bluetooth and mobile TV, and so on.

Lincroft is a highly integrated system-level chip (SoC), integrated 45nm processor, graphics core, memory controller, video codec, etc. Langwell is used to support a range of input and output features to connect wireless, storage, and display devices, as well as board-level features that make the product more lightweight and portable, and smaller in size.

When processors and even the entire chipset are smaller, lower, and more high-performance, laptops will become truly portable and full, and Atom's next-generation platform, Moorestown, undoubtedly gives us the expectation that this vision is not far away, and can be imagined, Moorestown will be more appealing than the current atom platform.
