Intel Revealing Bay Trail-T and Devices Next Month

From Tom's Hardware: The upstream supply chain sources are now chirping just weeks before the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2013 conference taking place in San Francisco from September 10 to 12. They claim that Intel will use this event to reveal its new Bay Trail-T platform for tablets, along with ODMs Asus, Acer and Lenovo who will also reveal their related products.

The Bay Trail platform is the first major Atom release under CEO Brian Krzanich's helm, sporting the 22 nm "Valleyview" Atom chip. As previously reported, the company will supposedly launch the Atom Z-series SoCs (with a target TDP of 3W) for Bay Trail-T platforms designed for tablets between August 28 and September 13 of this year. Intel also plans to launch Bay Trail-M (4W to 6.5W) for notebooks and Bay Trail-D (12W) for desktops.

"What [the Bay Trail platform] really does is allows us to get into these markets that we are not in, in a big way today," Krzanich told analysts in July. "[There will be] tablets [at] $199 and below, some you are going to see even lower, below $150 and much below that as we go through the holiday season. So, Bay Trail, really first and foremost we believe gives solid performance, solid battery life relative to the competition in price points and markets that were simply not in, in a big way today."
