Intel teases new Intel Atom x3, x5 and x7 processors while announcing a new naming scheme

Intel is trying to make its Atom line of processors more user-friendly naming scheme than the current four digit (plus maybe letters) arrangement. From now on Atoms will follow the same three-fold division that the premium Core i processors have, but with a different letter.
The good, better and best of the Intel Atoms will be labeled x3, x5 and x7 respectively. And that’s not all, as Intel’s PR blogpost suggests that the change is not in the names only, but there is actually new silicone ready to be announced.
The new Intel Atom x3, x5 and x7 processors will be aimed at tablets, phablets and phones and prioritize mobility and battery life, while offering competitive battery life. The Intel Core M and Core i series remain to target laptops and hybrid devices.
While, today’s news is not a product announcement per se, we still think they’ve got some new sillicone ready. It’s clearly stated that “This change will start with the next generation of processors” and the infographic explicitly states new processors in the title.

Intel plans for 10nm chips in 2016, 7nm in 2018

Intel has been working on the 14nm node for years, but it’s now sorted out and shipping – both as the mobile Broadwell processors in laptops and the Cherry Trail chipsets for phones and tablets. The next stop will be at 10nm, but Intel has plotted the future to 7nm as well.
These nanometers reflect the size of a silicon chip’s components. The smaller they are, the smaller the chip is. Also, shrinking the process node is the leading way to improve power efficiency and reduce the amount of produced heat.
That’s of vital importance on mobile devices, which throttle their chipsets as they build up too much heat in a matter of minutes all the while eating through the battery.
Getting to 14nm with Broadwell was a difficult path with several delays to get the manufacturing process just right. Intel senior fellow Mark Bohr says that 10nm is expected in 2016 and things on the new process are going twice as fast as they did for the 14nm process.
After that comes the 7nm process, which is expected in 2018, which Intel believes can be achieved without exotic manufacturing methods.
There’s an often misquoted Moore’s law (named after Intel co-founder Gordon Moore) that states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every two years. This is often simplified as “the power of a chip.” Anyway, this is made possible by making transistors smaller, otherwise chips will get too big, too expensive and too hot. The death of Moore’s law has been predicted for years, but Intel will keep it alive at least until 2018.
