During the forum for developers, taking place in San Francisco, Intel has further clarified the platform, Moorestown, designed for mobile Internet devices (MID) and smartphone high-level issue which is scheduled for 2010.

Moorestown SoC (system on chip) will be the successor of Menlow, which consists of the Silverthorne processor and chipset, Poulsbo, becoming the second-generation mobile platform Intel. These step Intel hopes to attract producers sector, which is currently dominated by chips ARM. Like its predecessor, Menlow, Moorestown new platform is based on the 45nm chips. It consists of northbridge and southbridge Lincroft Langwell. This Lincroft built into the processor that supports HyperThreading and has a built-in graphics core, while Langwell is intended for communication. Note that Intel has yet to integrate the modem into the CPU.

Intel understands that in order to worthily enter the smart phone market, it is necessary to ensure low power consumption Moorestown, many times less power than Menlow. At IDF 2009 Intel employee Srikant Takkar (Shreekant Thakkar) reported that the reduction of energy consumption in the new platform will be possible by removing some of the elements of design, "inherited inherited" from conventional computers. For example, instead of the power-hungry PCI-Express to connect to the screen will be used by mobile industry processor interface (MIPI). Changes in the platform aimed at saving energy, as well as in mobile devices is critical, each consumed milliwatts. according to internal data of Intel, the engineers have succeeded in reducing energy consumption in idle mode in 50 ds, with video playback 720p ─ 3 times, and when you play audio in 30-fold compared to Menlow.

Intel has already prepared the basic software for new platforms: the manufacturer has recently introduced an operating system Moblin 2.1, which in the future to complement the platform Moorestown. But still the main problem remains unsolved Platform Intel ─ its great power, which is significantly greater than those present in the market-making. This is a serious problem for Intel. While it seems that Intel is trying to lop the existing architecture and to fit the needs of its mobile devices with screens about 4. "If she does get the result will be impressive. In any case, you can expect with the next iteration, Medfield, at Intel get something very interesting. While we can assume that Moorestown will be used for MID-devices, and Medfield platform for smartphones.
