In its morning Keynote at IDF 2013, Intel has officially launched its Bay Trail system-on chip (SoC) that has been designed to compete with chips from Qualcomm or NVIDIA in mobile devices. A Bay Trail system can use up to four CPU cores and it will integrate Intel’s own graphics processor, which is a derivative of Intel’s HD graphics launched some time ago on the PC. Previously, Intel had licensed IP from Imagination technologies, which provides graphics core for Apple and many other mobile chip vendors.
Bay Trail is extremely important for Intel’s mobility business and at the moment the products built on this architecture are the Atom Z3700 Series and Z3600 Series. It can also be used in laptops and notebook, but will appear as “Pentium” (mostly quad-core) or “Celeron” (mostly dual-core) and if you had not noticed, Bay Trail uses the Intel Silvermont CPU core design.
