During Computex 2013 show in Taiwan, Intel showed off its next-generation Atom chipset designed for use in Windows 8 and Android tablets. The new Atom mobile chipset is based on the Silvermont microarchitecture that is built on a 22 nm process, just like the new Haswell processors.

　　A quad-core Bay Trail-T SoC will deliver better more than two times the CPU performance over the current generation in a single-threaded situation, while later this year Intel plans to introduce SoCs with up to 8 CPU cores.

　　The company promises up to 8+ hours of battery life on a 30Wh battery while playing a 1080p@30 fps video. The new XMM 7160 modem will bring 4G LTE support to the chipsets along with 4K video decoding support.

　　The Silvermont microarchitecture is not intended for smartphones, as that is the territory of Intel's Merrifield chipsets, which also uses 22 nm manufacturing process. Starting prices are rumoured to begin at around $399 for 10.1-inch devices.
