Intel introduces new Atom platform Pine Trail A

The update for netbooks and low-cost desktop PC includes three nuclear processors. They have an integrated graphics core and memory controller. The chipset NM10 completes the system architecture.

Intel has announced three new Atom processors, the first time have an integrated graphics unit. The GMA3100, known by older notebook solutions that solves the years and have come in from for modern usage scenarios such as playing HD-videos not suitable GMA950 graphics core. In addition, these new processors have an integrated memory controller, so that the North Bridge is eliminated the existing architecture. Is completed as the "Pine Trail" known solution with the chipset NM10, which among other things allows the communication with the USB and SATA devices.

The higher integration density (two chips instead of three) claims the solution 60 percent less area than the previous netbook platform. In addition, the power consumption about 20 percent is lower, so you can use such devices with the same battery capacity in mobile applications expected to last longer.

With the new platform, however, some technical restrictions associated with: can not through the elimination of the North Bridge chipset, without further other solutions, such as ion-platform from Nvidia, are combined with the new Atom processors. Ion offers compared to the Intel solution significantly improved graphics and video performance (DirectX 10). The performance of the introduced in 2007 and now incorporated in the atomic GMA 3100 (DirectX 9) provides for playback of HD video is often not enough power. Apple is providing this reason for its Macbooks since 2008 with the powerful Nvidia GeForce solution 9400th.
