Intel’s chip blitz includes 12 embedded CPUs

“Intel used an early-morning conference at today’s Consumer
Electronics Show to roll out 27 new processors, including 12
specifically aimed at embedded devices. Additions to the
chipmaker’s Core i3, i5, i7, and Xeon families, the CPUs have two
or four cores, include on-chip graphics, and incorporate “Turbo
Boost” technology, according to the company.

“Intel’s announcement included 27 processors overall, including
Core i3, i5, i7, and Xeon models. Features and performance
generally increase with the size of the i number: According to
Intel officials, the Core i5 has twice the performance of the Core
2 Duo CPU it will supplant.

“Intel says all its new Core processors are manufactured using
the company’s 32nm process, which includes second-generation high-k
metal gate transistors. (The chipmaker invested $7 billion in the
32nm process in early 2009, writes Nicholas Kolakowski in a story
for our sister publication eWEEK.com.)”
