Not all rumors turn out to be true, and according to Intel, recent reports suggesting the chip maker was delaying its next-generation "Pine Trail" Atom until next year are completely false.
"Pine Trail is on schedule," Mooly Eden, general manager of the Mobile Platforms Group at Intel, said at the Intel Technology Summit on Wednesday in San Francisco. "We are going to ship revenue shipments in the second half of the year. You come to IDF (slated for September) and see the maturity of the product."
Pine Trail will consist of an integrated graphics processor built into the same slice of silicon as the main processor, which will also share space with the memory controller. This will shrink the number of chips in the Atom platform from three to only two, which is expected to result in a cheaper platform with a lower power draw.
