"Intel displays a handful of prototypes that suggest the kinds of devices that might eventually house the Moorestown platform: One looks like a long, narrow remote control with a smooth, flat face; another is slightly chunkier, with a five-inch screen dominating and no obvious buttons – clearly meant for watching video, or maybe gaming. A third device resembles an oversized iPhone.
All of them are smaller than a netbook but larger than a phone; executives admit they need to get Moorestown's power requirements down even more in order to reside in a smartphone. (That's where Medfield comes in: It will be one chip instead of a two-chip system. That will make it a more efficient power user, suitable for phones. Sources expect Medfield to appear in devices in 2011.)" – Alan Cheslow |
