Intel pushes new platform Oak Trail for slim netbooks and tablets landing

Computex Intel-Vize David Perlmutter hat auf der Computex eine nach eigenen Worten "ehrgeizige" Roadmap für den Atom-Prozessor vorgelegt. Ab sofort unterstützen zwei neue CPUs für Netbooks auch DDR3, Anfang 2011 soll eine neue Plattform sparsam genug für Tablets sein.

Intel today provided a few more details about its upcoming processor Oak Trail processor that will target tablets. The company also outlined Canoe Lake, which will enable much thinner netbook designs than we see in stores today.

Intel, which makes chips used in more than three-quarters of the world's computers, has said it expects to double its earnings growth in coming years. It also raised its forecast for long-term margin, and which aims to extend beyond its computer chips, which now dominates the market with devices like smart phones and televisions. Intel is working with Google and Sony on a device based on Internet TV using Atom processors.

It will also be capable of full 1080p HD video playback and will support MeeGo, Windows 7 and Google’s Android and Chrome OS operating systems. It is expected to launch in early 2011.
