Atom roadmap: faster than the six-core Phenom II in 2015?

Bill Leszinske, general manager of technology planning at the Intel Atom SoC Development Division, presented the British media with the latest roadmap for the Atom processor, and drew a fairly large pie.

According to the plan, Intel will launch the first 32nm Atom processor in September this year, code-named "Saltwell", to replace the existing 45nm model, and then release the "Silvermont" 22nm process in 2013, continuing to be 14nm, codename "Airmont" was born in 2015. This means that Atom will upgrade its new process every two years, and the architecture will naturally step by step.

Netbooks have already been degraded. Intel Atom naturally wants to occupy tablets and smart phones. Intel claims that by 2015, the Atom processor's CPU performance (SPEC2000int_rate test score) and GPU graphics performance (game frame rate) will all be more than a dozen times now. As to why the SPECint2000 retired in 2007 as a measure, Intel explained that this can easily compare historical architectures.

The above comparison is the baseline Atom N570, dual-core four threads, clocked at 1.66GHz, graphics core GMA 3150. This thing runs "StarCraft 2" has a poor 3FPS, it is 30FPS ten times, and finally reached the smooth baseline, but it will be a game five years ago; Atom N270 can run 3846 MIPS in SPECint2000, Atom The N570 is about twice that number, so by 2015 there will have been about 79,000 MIPS, which is already slightly faster than the six-core Phenom II X6 1100T. To reach this height, Atom will have a burst acceleration between the next years, and the sudden increase in performance will be three times. - Atom you want to support out of order execution failed?

Whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believe it.
