New PVR Series 6 cores (Merrifield and Moorefield):
New Intel® Atom™ Processors and LTE-Advanced Communications Platform
Intel launched the 2.13GHz Intel Atom processor Z3480 ("Merrifield") that offers the ideal combination of fast, smart performance and long battery life for Android smartphones and tablets. The 64-bit ready SoC delivers best-in-class compute performance for the mainstream and performance segments, and solidly outperforms the competition in compute-intensive application, web application and light media editing performance.1 Merrifield also delivers best-in-class battery life.2

Based on Intel's 22nm Silvermont microarchitecture, the new processor also features a PowerVR* Series 6 Graphics IP core from Imagination Technologies* and is designed for simple pairing with the Intel® XMM™ 7160 LTE platform. Merrifield is the first Intel Atom SoC to feature the new Intel® Integrated Sensor Solution, which efficiently manages sensor data to keep applications smart and contextually aware even when the device is in a low-power state. Intel expects Merrifield-based devices from multiple OEMs to launch beginning in the second quarter.
James noted that all Intel Atom processors today support a 64-bit computing experience. "Sixty-four bit computing is moving from the desktop to the mobile device," James said. "Intel knows 64-bit computing, and we're the only company currently shipping 64-bit processors supporting multiple operating systems today, and capable of supporting 64-bit Android when it is available." Intel has also delivered 64-bit kernels across operating systems, so customers who choose Intel Atom have a ready foundation for a 64-bit experience as the operating system and applications evolve.
Intel also disclosed new details on its next-generation 64-bit Intel Atom processor, code-named "Moorefield" for devices expected to be available in the second half of the year. Building on the Merrifield feature set, Moorefield adds two additional Intel architecture (IA) cores for up to 2.3GHz of compute performance, an enhanced GPU and support for faster memory. Moorefield is optimized for Intel's 2014 LTE platform, the Intel® XMM™ 7260, which the company also introduced today

Sir Hossein Yassaie, CEO, Imagination Technologies, said, "Our long-standing strategic relationship with Allwinner has resulted in a series of amazing products that offer high performance and low power consumption for highly affordable devices. The graphics and compute capabilities of the newly-announced Allwinner UltraOcta A80 processor are truly impressive.
“With the UltraOcta processor, Allwinner are leveraging the full benefits of the Rogue GPU architecture to provide the best combination of features. The choice of a fully-featured PowerVR G6230 GPU enables them to deliver one of the best platforms for Android and other operating systems."
Announced just after MWC but a good win for Caskeid/FlowCloud
London, UK – 28 February, 2014 – Imagination Technologies (IMG.L) and Onkyo, one of the world’s foremost creators of innovative home entertainment products, announced today that they have entered an agreement to collaborate on the next generation of wireless audio music streaming systems and the global expansion of High Quality Audio.
Says Munenori Otsuki, president and CEO, Onkyo Corporation: “In the last decade we have witnessed a massive increase in music consumption. Unfortunately during this period audio quality has been lost in the rush for convenience. The time has come to raise the bar back up. By working with Imagination and its partners, who are at the centre of this movement, we will aggressively expand wireless audio music streaming and High Quality Audio out of Japan to the rest of the world.” Onkyo launched Japan’s most successful High Quality Audio download platform called e-onkyo music in 2005.
Hossein Yassaie, CEO, Imagination added: “We are delighted to be working with such a technically capable audio company as Onkyo. Imagination’s Caskeid and FlowCloud technologies are crucial to enabling both the Streaming Music and High Quality Audio revolutions. Onkyo is a brand that can engineer and carry these products to market. I am certain the music listening experience is going to change through collaborations of this kind.”
