Intel Atom Z670 processor for tablets to cost $75
We know Intel is working on a new processor exclusively designed for tablet computers. But now it has come to light that the Atom Z670 cost $75 — more than three times costlier than NVIDIA Tegra 2.
The most powerful and most energy efficient Atom processor till date, the Atom Z670 has a clock speed of 1.5GHz, 512KB cache and 5W TDP.
Another interesting thing about this chip is that it not only supports Windows 7, but also MeeGo and Android!
But of course you cannot keep a price which is more than three times price of comparable ARM chips.
A tablet manufacturer will have to play up to three times more to buy an Atom Z670, so it just doesn’t make any sense.
It would be great if Intel reduces price of Atom Z670.
