At the Intel Developer Forum in Shenzen last week, Intel announced Apollo Lake, a new family of SoCs that will replace Cherry Trail parts. This low-cost SoC family appears to continue the trend of minor performance and power improvements that we have come to expect from Intel's generational releases. Intel says Apollo Lake SoCs will become available in the second half of this year under the Atom, Celeron, and Pentium brands.
According to Anandtech , Apollo Lake will be built on a new microarchitecture code-named Goldmont. Goldmont is etched onto silicon using the same 14-nm process as Intel used for the Airmont cores in Cherry Trail SoCs. The SoC's graphics ...
