Intel Rosepoint: an integrated Wi-Fi Atom CPU
The trend in the evolution of microprocessors seems clear: integrate everything possible within the same chip on the CPU . This will reduce the time to communicate with other components and minimizing both space and energy consumption, all while maintaining good performance. This pipeline is Intel Rosepoint a future platform currently being developed and the already known some of its features.
The main is to integrate the wireless controller chip inside the CPU . This would be equivalent to what currently exists with the combo of CPU + GPU to Intel Core , AMD Fusion or even some Intel Atom modern. The main advantage of this architecture is to optimize the response times of the wireless chip and reduce energy consumption.
The major drawback that can be Rosepoint Intel is in the interference created by the electricity used by the microprocessor itself (all that from a CPU works with zeros and ones is a simplification of reality, since the lowest level are electrical currents that may generate interference to other electronic devices).Intel claims to have solved this and will show it at a conference along this week.
Intel Rosepoint , again, is an ongoing project whose launch is expected for the year 2015 . Current prototypes are manufactured at 32 nanometers and are Intel dual-core Atom, but expect the final versions are SoC ( system on chip ) for use in embedded devices like mobile phones could be, media players and more.
Information regarding the submission of Intel have in a document . pdf entitled Intel Labs at ISSCC 2012and available on its website .
