Intel unveils the Net-savvy CE4100

>> Today we're announcing the next generation of the CE SoC, first SoC with Atom processor core integrated. It's called Intel Atom Processor CE4100, formerly codenamed Sodaville. This will be Intel's very first delivery of 45-nanometer generation single-chip SoC. It is optimized for IPTV set-top boxes, connected media players such as BluRay and DVRs as well as, of course, digital TVs. You can expect this to be fully backward-compatible with the CE3100. You will know that software compatibility is the hallmark of Intel architecture. In fact, we're able to utilize the same platform drivers and foundation software that was running on 3100 directly on 4100 when we first got the silicon back from the inaudible. It has hardware decode to handle dual-stream HD videos, high, high-end audio capabilities, everything that you need to build very high-end AV system that incorporates such thing as BluRay. It has advanced 3D, but we've doubled the clock rate of this 3D graphics engine, effectively increasing the performance of 3D graphics exponentially. It also had, has hardware support for MPEG4. Also it's got fully integrated 1080p uncompressed AV capture capability so that you could actually bring in HD videos from outside, whether it's your own private streams or from, from other external sources as part of the, part of your product. It also has integrated inaudible controller for very fast boot directly from, from the memory. It supports DDR2 and DDR3 for great flexibility in product design. So just one year after Intel CE3100 delivery, we're executing on the Moore's Law. We're now gearing up to deliver the next generation CE SoC 4100. As you can see from this comparison, you can see dramatic improvement in the overall size, which has huge implications on the products that can be designed and the overall cost of the device.
