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.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

Max Q: Galactic

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Happy Memorial Day everyone. In this issue: Astranis’ novel approach to GEO satellites Virgin Galactic’s return to the skies News from SpaceX, and more Astranis’ novel approach to internet satellites is starting to pay off Astranis , a satellite internet startup based in San Francisco, said Wednesday that its first spacecraft completed a milestone test and will start bringing broadband access to rural Alaskans as soon as mid-June. It’s a major step for the company, which was founded in 2015 by John Gedmark and Ryan McLinko. By taking a first principles approach to satellite development, the pair bet that they could make a smaller, cheaper spacecraft for geosynchronous orbit — the orbit farthest from Earth and arguably the most inhospitable — and use them to bring internet to millions, or even billions, of people around the globe. Their bet is paying off: The company’s first satellite, Arcturus, launched on a Falcon Heavy at the end of April. W...
