Intel on Wednesday ended weeks of speculation by launching "Bay Trail," the next-generation Atom Z3000 chip that pushes tablets towards PC-esque levels of performance.
A few years ago, Intel launched the Atom processor, designed for an emerging low-power world. But over time, Atom's performance has improved to the point that the most recent iteration, Bay Trail, has improved dramatically in PCWorld's hands-on tests.
On Wednesday, Intel touted Bay Trail, which looks like it will cut into Core-based PCs at the low end of the desktop and notebook, and the convertible tablets or "two-in-one" products that will use them. Intel also announced that OEMs would be including a Kinect-like sensor into future PCs, as previously reported, before touching on a wave of next-gen, Haswell-powered Chromebooks slated to land in the coming months.
Bay Trail fills the plate
Hermann Eul, vice president and general manager of the Mobile Communications Group, described how Intel is designing multiple components across the system. "[Mobility] connects us to our partners, to our friends, and to the cloud—even to our own bodies," Eul said.
