Intel's Oak Trail uses a 45nm manufacturing process
Intel has formally launched its Oak Trail processor,designed for use in tablet computers. The new microchip is smaller and uses less power than other models in its Atom range. Despite being the world's largest manufacturer of microprocessors, Intel has been largely pushed out of the growing tablet market. Until now, most devices have used chips designed by Apple and Cambridge-based Arm Holdings. Announcing Oak Trail's retail name - the Z670 - Intel conceded that it was currently lagging behind the competition.
