Netbook Intel Cedar Trail Release Date

Intel, such as images, is committed against its competitors on many fronts. Besides having to compete with AMD on the side of mobile solutions since the introduction of the APU Fusion belonging to the family, the Californian chipmaker aims to counter the rival company is also in the field of low-power devices and netbooks. At the next and imminent IDF (Intel Developer Forum) to be held in Beijing on 12 and 13 April 2011, Intel plans to introduce the new platform Cedar Trail dedicated its netbook systems.

One area that promises to be more interesting is the ability to achieve the so-called solutions fanless or without active cooling systems. This feature opens up the opportunity to obtain device thinner and consume less power (speaking off the record of close to 5 W TDP), a key aspect for mobility. Intel Cedar Trail could be something more. For example, can not exclude the integration of technology Widi that would allow the transmission of audio / video streams at 1080p using wireless links.

Devices using the new Atom processors, therefore, might have ability really interesting, thanks to the control of consumption and the lack of fans will be quieter and concentrates on design. The new platform Ultra Low Voltage and Ultra Low Cost Intel, which because of its features could easily be adapted to the tablet, is expected to be ready for distribution starting next January 2012 when the first device will be marketed with this solution.

The latest information we have, it seems that the processors will be divided into Cedar Trail desktop versions, called Atom D, and mobile versions in declination Atom M. As can be imagined, there will be a graphics subsystem compatible with DirectX 10.1.

At the moment, therefore, support for DirectX 11 seems excluded unless of surprises? ‘Last hours on which we do not do great expectations. Beyond this, the processors of the platform Cedar Trail feature hardware decoding of compressed formats MPEG2, VC1, ACV, H.264, DivX and Matroska MKV that make them particularly suitable for multimedia use at 360 degrees. For a complete picture of the situation is the case wait for another few weeks.
