Intel har nu öppnat Intel Developer Forum i Taipei och under första dagen pratade man bland annat mycket om den ultramobila marknaden och vilka framsteg man gör inom internetbaserade tillämpningar. I samband med detta visade Intel upp sin Moorestown-plattform för första gången. Dess SoC lösning Lincroft som huserar allt från processor till integrerad grafikkrets, minneskontroller och video avkodare. Med sin nya plattform siktar Intel på att minska strömförbrukningen hos sina MID-enheter med en faktor på tio, jämfört med den nuvarande Atom-baserade plattformen.

Intel Demonstrates Worlds First Working Moorestown Platform
Internet Spiral Continues to Fuel Industry Innovation
Across Multiple Devices and Experiences
INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM, Taipei, Taiwan, Oct. 20, 2008 The surge of new Internet-based applications and innovations will require a common, yet flexible platform from which the industry can innovate upon, and the Intel® Architecture is well positioned at the core of exciting new innovations and transformation, according to Intel executive Anand Chandrasekher.
In his keynote today at the Intel Developer Forum in Taiwan, Intels senior vice president and general manager of Intels Ultra Mobility Group discussed how technology innovation and strong industry collaboration have driven the digital economy over the past 40 years, and the universal impact that the Internet and mobile Web has had in peoples lives.
Technology innovation is the catalyst for new user experiences, industry collaborations and business models that together will shape the next 40 years, said Chandrasekher. As the next billion people connect to and experience the Internet, significant opportunities lie in the power of technology and the development of purpose-built devices that deliver more targeted computing needs and experiences.
Chandrasekher cited the Intel® Atom processor, the upcoming Nehalem processor, and the Intel Moorestown platform scheduled for the 2009-2010 timeframe as prime examples of innovation and technology leadership. Also highlighted was the progress Intel is making in the Mobile Internet Devices (MID) market segment with the worlds first working Moorestown platform demonstration.
Moorestown comprises of an SOC, codenamed Lincroft, which integrates the 45nm processor, graphics, memory controller and video encode/decode onto a single chip and an I/O hub codenamed Langwell, which supports a range of I/O ports to connect with wireless, storage, and display components in addition to incorporating several board level functions. Chandrasekher stated that Intel is on track to reduce Moorestown platform idle power by more than 10x compared to the first-generation MIDs based on the Intel Atom processor.
Chandrasekher said that Moorestown will be a catalyst for exciting and innovative developments that will extend the full Internet experience into the smartphone space with the Communication MID. He indicated that Moorestown platforms will support a range of wireless technologies including 3G, WiMAX, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and mobile TV.
Additionally, Chandrasekher announced a collaboration with Ericsson* for HSPA data modules optimized for the Moorestown platform. He also announced that Option* is extending its collaboration for HSPA modules to the Moorestown platform. These 3G modules come in 25x30x2.x mm small size, are optimized for Moorestown power requirements and will help provide MID users with more powerful, always connected Internet-based experiences.
Dynamic innovation in the digital enterprise
Kirk Skaugen, general manager of Intels Server Platforms Group, provided details of next-generation high-end desktops powered by the Intel® Core i7 processor, launching next month. These high-end desktops will provide outstanding performance for gaming and content creation applications. Skaugen also shared that the 2009 Intel® vPro technology-based business clients codenamed Piketown for desktops and Calpella for notebooks will be powered by future Nehalem processors and will provide corporate customers with even more enterprise-focused innovations.
The upcoming Nehalem microarchitecture spans a range of products. First segments will include the Intel® Core i7 processor and a variant designed for the efficient performance server segments codenamed Nehalem-EP. A derivative designed for the expandable server market segment (Nehalem-EX) as well as other desktop and mobile versions (Havendale, Lynnfield, Auburndale and Clarksfield) will be in production beginning in the second half of 2009.
Skaugen also announced that IBM and Intel will further collaborate to drive open innovation in the blade server market.

Douglas L. Davis, Stage 4 of the Internet The Rise of Embedded Computing
Vice President, Digital Enterprise Group and General Manager, Embedded and Communications Group
In his keynote address themed Stage 4 of the Internet The Rise of Embedded Computing, Doug Davis explained the common thread driving the next stage of the Internet is embedded Intel® architecture, with 15 billion embedded devices connected by 2015. Davis highlighted specific implementations of the scalable suite of Intel silicon available to drive innovations in retail, industrial and medical applications.
Intel Expands Scalable Choices For Embedded Davis announced that Intel will add 7-year extended lifecycle support for the Intel® Core2 Quad processor Q9400 validated with the Intel® Q45 Express chipset and the Intel® 3210 chipset. The Q9400 processor is ideal for embedded systems that need the performance of a 45nm processor with four complete execution cores to deliver high performance and responsiveness in multi-threaded and multi-tasking environments.
- Intel Q45 Express chipset a desktop chipset ideal for industrial, retail, gaming, print imaging, digital signage and network security applications.The chipset features are supported by the following technologies:
- Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 provides enhanced graphics/media capabilities
- Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) protects against software-based attacks
- Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) version 5.0 provides for enhanced manageability of remote clients
- Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 provides enhanced graphics/media capabilities
- Intel 3210 chipset a server chipset offers a unique combination to embedded customers with ECC, high bandwidth performance and improved memory speeds for mid-range network security, print imaging, storage and I/O-intensive industrial applications. The chipset features:
- Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory
- I/O performance and improved memory speed over the previous-generation chipsets for faster system responsiveness
- Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory
Announcing Adaptations of Intel® Atom processor Z5xx series — Davis also disclosed that adaptations of the Intel® Atom processor Z5xx series for embedded will be available with 7-year long lifecycle support in the first quarter of 2009.

Steve Pawlowski, Next Generation Intel® Core Microarchitecture (Nehalem):
Screaming Performance, Efficient Power
Intel Senior Fellow and Chief Technology Officer, Digital Enterprise Group
General Manager, Architecture and Planning
Steve Pawlowski provided an in-depth look into the architecture design of the Nehalem processor. The Nehalem processor was designed with the end user in mind to provide energy efficient performance with power efficiency at all levels from circuit to architecture. The Nehalem processor platform triples the memory bandwidth of previous Intel platforms, and Intels Hyper-Threading Technology allows multiple threads to run simultaneously, improving response time and delivering 8-threaded performance capability on 4 cores.
Intels unique Turbo Boost Technology accelerates performance to match workloads. A sophisticated on-die power control unit enables Turbo Boost by automatically adjusting the clock speed for both single-threaded applications as well as multi-threaded ones. In addition, new power gate transistors based on Intels advanced 45nm Hi-k manufacturing process totally switch off idle processor cores to further cut power leakage. The Nehalem processor also has the latest Intel power saving technologies, allowing desktops to go into sleep states formerly reserved for notebooks.
Nehalem Microarchitecture technical disclosures
- Intel® Turbo Boost Technology In response to workload demand, adds higher speed to active cores
- Power Gates Enabled by Intel in-house design and process technology; turns individual cores on/off; transparent to OS; ultra low leakage and cores can run at independent voltage or frequency
- Intel Hyper-Threading Technology New and improved with more processor resources
- Over 3X increase in memory bandwidth
