Nothing new about systems on a chip (SOCs). But Intel has released an integrated processor name Tolapai, if I can say that, but it's geared towards storage OEMs. The chip has a Pentium Mx86 CPU, I/O controller, memory controller, and acceleration unit. Reducing the amount of real estate, about 45 percent. Obviously geared towards the ever increasing, or should I say shrinking personal devices out there.
"The Intel EP80579 Integrated Processor product line is a big leap in architectural design providing excellent performance-per-watt for small form factor communications and embedded applications." said Rose Schooler, Embedded Performance Products Division general manager at Intel.
