Intel re-enters System-on-Chip market with its X86 architecture


Intel has just announced a System on Chip (SoC) product named EP80579. The basic concept of a SoC is to integrate as many components of a computer as possible in a chip. That allows to reduce the size, cost and ability consumption… Right now, these Intel chips are often used to potential devices such as network attached storages and so on… The more interesting

part of Intel’s announcement is that upcoming SoC will use the Atom processor design and will have higher performance. Atom is used today to potential Mobile Web Devices (MID) and NetTop computers. In the near future, that entry into the SoC segment might translate into faster time-to-market for new designs and a larger software applications offering.
