Intel's Netbook Roadmap Revealed
Posted 12/09/08 at 02:14:39 PM by Andy Salisbury

Intel’s most recent processor roadmap, released earlier this week, reveals their plans for technology extending all the way into the 32-nanometer realm.
The roadmap reveals some new codenames for the world to gawk at, including Medfield, which is slated for 2010, and it’s predecessor, Pineview, which should be on its way for a 2009 release. The two processors are still based on 45-nanometer technology, much like today’s Atom processor.
Pineview might be housing Intel’s own graphics processing technology, right on the chip.
The Medfield chip would be part of a new generation that includes the processor, memory controller, multimedia functions and I/O into a single chip. It’s also reported that battery life of netbooks that include the chips will have their battery lives drastically increased.

I hope that it offers at

I hope that it offers at least dual execution cores. I just can't see going back to single core ever again.
And I thought PowerVR was deep-sixed by Intel.

"Imagination is the same company that licenses PowerVR technology to
Samsung, which, in turn, integrates it into silicon used in the Apple
iPhone."
