Intel working on Oak Trail Atom to replace Z-series?

Posted on Monday, February 22 2010 @ 2:14 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck
Japanese tech site PC Watch claims Intel is prepping "Oak Trail", a new Atom processor that should replace the Z-series Atoms.
However, the report revealed little apart from the Oak Trail name. We still don't have the spec or launch date, hence it's unclear what to expect from the new chip.

Some reports indicate that Oak Trail might be a SoC design, with far greater power efficiency than the Z-series. This means it could end up in tablets, maybe evensome chunkier smartphones or communicators.
