Apollo Lake (Platform) / Goldmont (CPU core Codename) Info

[zentan]

Seems that Apollo Lake went up on wattage required. At least jumped from 4 to 6 and is a good sign.
Also the base clock might be higher.

Is on par of Stoney Ridge.

Err...4core parts like n3710 have 6W TDP already, nothing changes in the specified TDP for 4Core part cited in the slide in that regard.

That's a tiny soc... and +30% performance at same clock is nice too, just cranck em up to 3GHz and Atom might finally reach the old core quad

So, clue me in, has this chip been cancelled? Are all Atom CPUs dead? Or just the phone / tablet-oriented ones?

I just bought some Gigabyte Brix J1900 mini-PCs, and I think that they're great. If Intel could release a quad-core Atom, with low TDP, and close to Core2Quad IPC, and an iGPU that could decode HEVC and VP9, and possibly with 4K decode / output and HDMI2.0, they would have a REALLY potent media-consumption / web-browser / HTPC box using that CPU.

It's confusing. The SoCs/platforms using the Atom CPU cores targeted at smartphones and iPad-like tablets have been cancelled. Atom core development itself continues and we will see future low cost PC processors based on future Atom CPU cores.

There are new entries of Apollo Lake based Pentium N4200 and Celeron N3350 available on Geekbench.

That would be sweet. A nice little compact mini-PC, with the CPU performance of a Q6600 in a 20W unit. (Entire system power - the CPU would of course use a bit less.)

I find this Geekbench comparison interesting.

N4200 Win-32bit 1416 4553
Q6600 Win-32bit 1287 3421

It appears the stock clock Goldmont N4200 outperforms the venerable, stock clock Q6600 by 10% in single threaded performance and by ~30% in Multithreaded performance. It may help make the low end desktop a more livable place.

In Geekbench anyway. I'd like to see a broader spectrum of benchmarks but who really benches Core2Quad anymore?

This motherboard shows an unknown Apollo Lake die, measuring in at 159.7 mm2 (11.24 x 9.98 mm)

Do we know the package size of Apollo Lake?

Anandtech says it is 160 mm² big but 11.24x9.98 results in 112 mm². Not sure how reliable this is if they can't even calculate such a simple calculation.
