Intel atom e3900: new processors for the 'internet of things'

Intel has just launched a new series of processors from its Atom line for the Internet of Things (IoT). We are talking about the new Atom E3900 line, which will come to cover this sector outside the direct consumer or servers market.

Atom E3900 is based on Apollo Lake architecture

In total there will be three new processors oriented to the Internet of Things, with a very low power consumption and good performance in general, based on the new Apollo Lake architecture that is manufactured at 14 nm.

• The first of these is the dual-core Atom x5-E3930 running at 1.8 GHz and a 12-drive GPU. Atom x5-E3940 which is a quad-core version also running 1.8 GHz and a GPU of 12 execution units Finally the Atom x7-E3950 quad-core but operating at 2.0 GHz and 18 execution units. All three processors have an Intel GPU in the same ninth-generation package.

The consumption will be really very low, the first model will have a TDP of 6.5 Watts and the last one will reach 12 Watts.

There will be three new Atom E3900 processors

The Atom E3900 processors will be able to be used in factory machinery, also in video cameras connected to the Internet and other Internet of Things devices that need to determine the time accurately. The processor has an innovative system for measuring startup time, which will be used mainly in the robotic field in factories. With it, it is ensured that the robotic arms (to give an example) work in a coordinated way at all times.

The Intel Atom E3900 will also be able to process images on 4K monitors and handle decoding of up to 15 video streams at 1080p and 30 FPS for monitoring systems.
