Ryan "Opie" Shrout, live blogger for PC Perspective took these snaps of slides pertaining to the next generation Atom processor that were on display at IDF.

According to the first slide, the next generation of Atom CPU, codenamed Moorestown planned for 2009 ~ '10 could reduce the idle power draw by greater than 10 times that of its predecessor. Intel also seems to be working on getting rid of the core-logic (chipset) the current implementations of the Atom processor are based on, the i945, which not many in the computing world seem to have appreciated owing to its power-draw. The second slide talks about a newer Langwell processor and Lincroft chipset which have been presented in a size comparison. If that plan materializes, expect a x86 PC module to be smaller in size than your credit card, fit for deployment into much smaller portable devices.

10x power reduction from 4watts? That would be impressive.

Great, put it in my PDA Phone and call it good. Wonder what kind of speeds they are looking at?

Anyone else wonder how much American Express paid?

It's small, I get it. What kind of applications could we give to this, besides portable devices?

Killer Networks (makers of Killer NIC) should be all puppy-eyed seeing this. The Killer NIC uses a PPC-processor. Imagine if it used a cheap atom.... also makers of NAS devices and RAID controller cards. AFAIK some RAID cards use PPC chips.

I wonder that too... I bet AMEX and Intel are gonna make an agreement, and on billboard, you will see the amex card and the intel CPU... that way they can split ad costs!

Seriously, I rather focus on performance rather than power consumption, its efficient enough as it is. If Intel thinks they got a performance crown, I'd like to see the Atom go up with a P4 on Crysis lol.

Well, I thought that Atom was just a perfect single core CPU and now it comes in core-duo flavour with 10 times reduction on energy consumption - awesome ! :rockout: GO intel .
Imagine what will be if new Atom combines with AMD 790 mobile chipset - 0.5W + 0.9W = 1.4W total energy consumption on full load playing Crisys on full HD. My optical mouse is more power hungry :toast:

Maybe Intel is stealing the "Ultra Scalable GPU" strategy from AMD? Perhaps we'll see a return of Intel's 80 core processor hitting desktops soon.

Intel Core 2 Eighty Extreme Edition
Designed for the average desktop user who wants to download torrents, use spreadsheets, surf the web, compile source, IM, E-mail and play 50 copies of Solitaire.
:roll:

I heard these things have the clock efficiency of a P4.
