Intel® Atom™ Processor CE4100 unveiled

CE4100, one of Intel Atom processor family products

Intel Corp unveiled the Intel® Atom™ processor CE4100 by 24th Sept 09, the newest System-on-Chip (SoC) in a family of media processors designed to bring Internet content and services to digital TVs, DVD players and advanced set-top boxes.

The CE4100 processor, formerly codenamed “Sodaville,” is the first 45nm-manufactured consumer electronics (CE) SoC based on Intel architecture. It supports Internet and broadcast applications on one chip, and has the processing power and audio/video components necessary to run rich media applications such as 3-D graphics.

These highly integrated SoCs built on Intel’s 45nm process technology deliver the processing performance of a lowpower Intel® Atom™ processor core, Intel® Precision View Technology for outstanding picture quality and Intel® Media Play Technology for seamless delivery of audio and video from both Internet and broadcast sources. The media processors also include functional units for robust 2D/3D graphics, fl exible I/O, security and a unifi ed high-speed memory subsystem for optimal responsiveness with Internet applications.

The Intel Atom processor CE4100 series delivers Intel® architecture software compatibility in highly integrated SoCs that reduce chip count to help support aggressive CE price points. The use of Intel architecture accelerates product time-to-market by providing access to a library of code familiar to programmers for more than 20 years, including tools, compilers and re-usable Internet applications.
