Intel’s 2011 Investor Meeting - Intel’s Architecture Group: 14nm Airmont Atom In 2014

Today Intel is holding their annual investors meeting at their Santa Clara headquarters. In true Intel fashion it’s being treated as a big event (ed: it’s so big they ran out of lunch), as this is the company’s primary vehicle for addressing the investors holding their 125 billion dollars in shares; in essence it’s a reprise of their current and future technology plans as a pep-talk for investors. As such it’s not really a technical event, but it’s not uncommon for a few new technical details to shake out during the presentations.

There are a number of presentations throughout the day. For AnandTech readers, the Intel Architecture Group is undoubtedly the group to watch, as if something is going to shake out it’s bound to be the architecture group. Today they didn’t disappoint, and while we didn’t actually get anything new in terms of architecture, we did get some new roadmaps. We learned about the Silvermont Atom last week, and today Intel has confirmed its existence along with providing a name and date for its successor, Airmont. Airmont will be Silvermont’s 14nm successor, and will be released much sooner than we’re accustomed to: 2014, the same year the Intel launches that new fabrication process.
