More info on Intel’s internet-centric processor arriving later this year. The Intel Atom processor is based on an entirely new micro-architecture designed specifically for small low power devices while maintaining the Intel Core 2 Duo instruction set compatibility found in standard full blown PCs. The design also includes support for multiple threads for better performance and increased system responsiveness. All this on a chip that measures less than 25 mm², making it Intel’s smallest and lowest power processor yet. [Intel]
Intel has announced the Intel Atom processors that will be targeted for mobile Internet devices (MIDs), and UMPCs. Dubbed as the “Atom” and “Centrino Atom”, the processors come equipped with integrated graphics, a wireless radio, and thinner and lighter designs. I’m sure these 45nm Atom chips don’t need Atomic power. [Press Release]
Intel is preparing to introduce a six-core chip called the Dunnington. This six-core Dunnington microprocessor will use three dual core 45 nanometre Penryn processors with a shared 16MB L3 cache. It will be succeeded by Nehalem micro-architecture, which will support greater than eight cores. The project itself is still under wraps so no word on availability as yet. [Eclipse] Read more

Intel showcased some interesting devices at IDF Fall 07. Most people will call this the Intel Phone, or the Intel iPhone. The handset will be powered by Intel’s Moorestown platform (a 45nm processor) and offers integrated graphics, video, and memory controllers, all packed into a single efficient chip. Stay tuned for more updates.

Intel has announced that the firm will introduce USB 3.0 next year. It should be ten times faster than USB 2.0. The company also confirmed that the speed boost is made possible by using fiber-optics in addition to the regular wires. In addition, the new USB 3.0 port will be backwards-compatible with current USB ones. For your info, the current hard-drives, mouse and printers are probably too limited to make use of the new 4.8 Gigabit/sec bandwidth, but we could use the bandwidth to transport HD video signals and other intensive data migration. Although USB 3 should work in 2008, it will take a couple more years to develop products.

Intel has recently announced their 3.0GHz Core 2 Extreme QX6850 quad core processor for standard Intel Socket T (LGA775) boards. The Core 2 Extreme X7800 runs at 2.6GHz and has a 800MHz front-side bus with 4MB L2 cache. Intel says it offers 28% more speed than the Core Duo T2600. The new X7800 offers Enhanced Deep Sleep for better energy saving, and Advanced Media Boost for faster video, photo and music editing. The processor can even be over clocked. In other words, it’s fast.
