Recent reports indicate that Intel plans to re-brand its Cedar Trail
processors slated for 2012 because demand for Atom-based netbooks,
nettops, handheld devices, consumer electronics products and embedded
devices have dropped significantly. The reason behind the decline,
according to industry sources, is due to the "poor brand image" of Atom
CPUs.
According to Intel's roadmap, Cedar Trail CPUs will be launched in
November 2011, and will include the Atom N2800 and N2700 for netbooks,
and the Atom D2700 and D2500 for nettops. Industry sources claim that
the re-branding will cover Intel's N/D/Z/E lineups.
But Friday a spokesperson from Intel squashed the reports.
"There are no plans to change the Atom brand. We are on track to launch
new Atom processors during the fourth quarter, with more new Atom
processors during the first half of 2012."
In addition to the Cedar Trail CPUs, Intel also plans to launch its
Medfield CPUs for Android tablets and smartphones in the first half of
2012.
