Intel’s Atom processor was a hit 2 years ago, but Apple’s iPad veni, vidi, and just vici like that, and now Intel’s Atom processor is getting few hits around by Apple’s popular and evolutional and magical iPad, and the competitor Android tablets, and AMD’s uprising APU platform. Things aren’t looking good for Intel. However, Chipzilla isn’t giving up, and intends to introduce its latest Atom processor at IDF Bejing this year. UMPC Portal noticed that Intel’s got a session titled “Designing a New Generation of Netbooks with the Intel Atom Processor Based Platform” at the April event, which promises to give attendees a glimpse at the “next generation Intel Atom processor based platform.” Details are scarce, but there are a couple of bullet points that might grab your attention. First, Intel will be talking about “WiFi solutions that deliver new netbook usage models,” which sounds kind of like WiDi, and second, the company will be talking up “fanless netbook designs.” This must made our imaginations ran wild. Atom chips on tablets and smartphones? Bring on the challenge!
