Intel boosts 'embedded' business

SANTA CLARA, California— Advancing inno-vation around the Intel Atom processor with a goal to target additional market segments, Intel Corp. has announced four unique versions of processors and two new system controller hub additions to the company’s “embedded” business division product line-up.

The new products for the Intel Atom processor Z5xx series include industrial-temperature options, as well as different package-size choices better suited for in-car infotainment devices, media phones, eco- technologies and other industrial-strength applications.

The low-power Intel Atom processor is behind much of Intel’s growth into several new computing-related mar-ket segments, extending the popular Intel architecture to embedded industries.
