From this year's CES World Consumer Electronics Show, people have clearly seen that processors are no longer just a topic that geeks talk about. With the popularity of smartphones and tablets, the era of Intel ’s dominance has passed, and many new faces have begun to appear on the stage of mobile device processors, hoping to show their masterpieces to the world. Please join us in counting the processors that will become the heart of the main models in 2013.
1. Qualcomm
At this year's CES show, Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon Snapdragon 800 and 600 mobile processors with the theme of "born mobile", which once became the focus of everyone.
As the latest generation of the company's quad-core processors, Snapdragon 800's cores can reach a maximum frequency of 2.3GHz, and are equipped with Adreno 330 graphics processing unit, compatible with the next-generation low-power memory standard, supporting LTE 4G wireless network, 802.11ac Gigabit wireless network. Qualcomm claims that the performance of the Adreno 330 GPU is up to twice that of the previous generation Adreno 320.
Qualcomm ’s other mobile processor, Snapdragon 600, focuses on the mid-range market. It also has a quad-core processor with a maximum frequency of 1.9GHz. It is equipped with the same Adreno 320 graphics processing unit as the current Snapdragon S4 Pro and supports LPDDR3 low-power memory. .
Advantage
Qualcomm promises that compared with Snapdragon S4 Pro, the overall performance of Snapdragon 800 will be improved by up to 75%. Not only that, its multimedia performance is also excellent: in addition to its 4K ultra-high-definition video playback capabilities, it also supports 7.1-channel surround sound technology, which can capture 3D images or stitch multiple photos into 55-megapixel giant photos.
For the Snapdragon 600, Qualcomm said that it will improve the performance of the Snapdragon S4 by 40%, while having a "good" battery life. Considering that it is impossible for chip manufacturers to admit that their products are electric tigers, this expression is also acceptable.
Disadvantages
Faced with the two rookies launched by Qualcomm, people's biggest concern is undoubtedly its power consumption, especially when facing high-load tasks such as 4K ultra-high-definition video decoding. In addition, we do not know that when a smartphone is equipped with a quad-core processor with a graphics processing unit, its heat will make it a veritable hot potato.
When to go public
Allegedly, Snapdragon 600 has entered the sampling stage. Qualcomm also said that the first batch of mobile devices equipped with this processor will officially meet with consumers in the second quarter of this year. Unsurprisingly, at the MWC Mobile World Congress held at the end of February, we can see the first smartphone officially adopting the Snapdragon 600. Qualcomm is more cautious about the time to market of Snapdragon 800, only saying that it will be put on the market in "Summer 2013", which is slightly later than 600.
2. Intel
As the originator of the x86 architecture, Intel has dominated desktop processors for many years. However, in the field of mobile processors, the chip giant has failed to keep up with the beat. At this CES show, Intel CEO brought a childish product, codenamed "Lexington" Atom processor. It is designed for developing markets such as Asia, Africa and Latin America, and is a low-end CPU. Acer, Safariland (Kenya's largest communications operator) and Lava (Indian mobile phone manufacturer) have all said that they will launch corresponding smartphone products in the following months.
In addition to Lexington, Intel also promised to replace the existing Clover Trail products with a new generation of quad-core processors code-named Bay Trail. Allegedly, as the chip giant's main force against the ARM architecture, Bay Trail's performance will be doubled to the previous generation, while the battery life remains unchanged.
Whether it is a low-power Ivy Bridge product or a new generation of Haswell processors, Intel's real protagonist at this exhibition is the rookie of the Core family. Their highlight is their extremely low power consumption, with a nominal value of 7W. According to plan, the low-power Ivy Bridge product will debut this year, and the Haswell processor will wait until the second half of the year.
Advantage
Although it's not a stunning fist product, Lexington still has many highlights. It is a single-core processor with a main frequency of 1.2GHz, supports HSPA + 3G network, and has an image capture capability of 7 frames per second continuous shooting. Most importantly, the emergence of Lexington shows Intel's determination to enter the mobile processor market.
As an updated product of the Clover Trail processor, the appearance of Bay Trail is not surprising. When the chip giant faces an Android tablet equipped with an ARM processor, it will ensure that Windows 8 tablet devices are sufficiently competitive.
As a member of the new generation of low-power Core family, the new Ivy Bridge and Haswell processors are Intel's best efforts. Between 2011 and 2012, the demand for the ultra-low-power computing market increased fivefold. The advent of the two means that Windows 8 tablet devices will have a longer battery life and stronger market competitiveness. They not only show the strength of chip giants in the field of low-power computing, but also bring huge profits to them.
Disadvantages
Although Lexington can bring a lot of impact to the low-end smartphone market, it may be difficult to make a difference in the developed market dominated by high-end products. As a replacement product of Clover Trail, Bay Trail can bring significant improvement in performance, but it still cannot rely on the essence of iterative upgrade. Therefore, consumers should not expect it to be as revolutionary as Haswell and low-power Ivy Bridge processors.
When to go public
Acer, Safariland and Lava have all promised to release products equipped with Lexington processors by the end of the first quarter of this year. They may be officially launched later this year; Windows 8 tablets equipped with Bay Trail chips may be close to Christmas During the shopping season, we officially meet with consumers; at present, a new generation of low-power Ivy Bridge processors have been launched, and Haswell processors will be released in the second half of this year.
