And 'Apollo Lake the Intel platform for smaller PCs and for future tablet

The IDF 2016 in Shenzhen, China, was an opportunity for Intel to introduce the Apollo Lake platform next generation. The name indicates the solutions intended for smaller PC, so much meaning small notebook as the most compact desktop solutions and of course the tablet.
The debut of the Apollo Lake solutions is near: it speaks of the second half of 2016, with processor versions based on the architecture known by the codename of Goldmont code built with 14-nanometer production technology. The trade name of these processors will continue to remain the Atom, chosen by Intel to detail their consumer buildings more energy-efficient.

Among the technical features of these processors we recommend the dual or quad core architecture depending on the version, combined with TDP that start at 6 Watt up to a maximum of 10 watts. The BGA package will be, therefore, these solutions will be soldered directly onto the motherboard and not proposals on socket. It is a choice of the rest to be evident for proposals of this kind, in consideration of the user target.

The Lake Apollo platform can be coupled with 4 Gbytes of memory LPDDR3, but manufacturers may possibly also use DDR3L memory or the LPDDR4 modules depending on your configuration preferences for systems.

Apollo Lake Intel aims to provide a complete hardware solution for manufacturers engaged in PC systems at a lower cost, providing a cost savings compared to the configurations currently available on the market and simultaneously offering superior speed performance. Not only this: the platform allows also contain the total consumption, increasing the autonomy of the battery equal to or allowing to build systems that equal autonomy are characterized by a more compact battery.
