Doug Davis, corporate vice president and general manager of Intel’s embedded and communications group disclosed the SoC combines an Intel Atom processor core, the memory controller hub, graphics engine and video engine into one chip.

The chip will also enable companies to connect their own custom-built silicon to the Intel chip as long as it is a PCI Express compliant.

“We’re cooperating closely with local companies in China to provide smarter and better connected computing solutions for cars, homes, businesses that provide infrastructure to power a more mobile and faster Internet experience,” Davis said.

He highlighted that Chinese car maker, HawTai Automotive, has plans to use the Intel Atom processor and MeeGo software for its in-car infotainment systems in its B11 luxury sedan.

“With an infotainment solution that utilises the Intel Atom processor, we are leveraging the well-established and latest Internet technologies, and re-using existing software that has been developed on MeeGo based Linux platform,” said Wang Dian Ming, vice chairman of HawTai Automotive.

In addition, wireless telecommunications company, China Mobile, also announced it will adopt Intel chips for targeted platforms powering its wireless networks.

“China Mobile has been researching a new Radio Access Network architecture that is intended to provide our broadband wireless network the benefits of world class energy efficiency, reduced total cost of ownership, and high performance, while having the flexibility to allocate infrastructure resources to varying network load conditions,” Cui Chunfeng, manager of wireless research labs, department of wireless communications, China Mobile Research Institute, said.

“To accomplish this vision we want to utilise Intel architecture in our next generation infrastructure, and tap into the flexibility, scalability and fast rate of innovation of using a software-defined architecture.”
