Intel Medfield SoC Specs Leak

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday December 27, 2011 @03:05PM from the just-over-the-horizon dept.

MrSeb writes "Specifications and benchmarks of Intel's 32nm Medfield platform — Chipzilla's latest iteration of Atom and first real system-on-a-chip oriented for smartphones and tablets — have leaked. The tablet reference platform is reported to be a 1.6GHz x86 CPU coupled with 1GB of DDR2 RAM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and FM radios, and an as-yet-unknown GPU. The smartphone version will probably be clocked a bit slower, but otherwise the same. Benchmark-wise, Medfield seems to beat the ARM competition from Samsung, Qualcomm, and Nvidia — and, perhaps most importantly, it's also in line with ARM power consumption, with an idle TDP of around 2 watts and load around 3W."

Sure, it's great, and compares well to this gen of processors (which are all at the 45/40nm fab (the exynos 4210 is 45nm, not 32nm as vr-zone incorrectly states)).
But what about the next gen chips that will have 32/28nm fab?
And how will it compare to the Quad-Core A9 processors (Tegra 3), higher clocked dual core A9 processors (Exynos 4212) or A15/A15 based designs? (Exynos 5250 and Krait/Snapdragon S4)
