Bay Trail-T is Atom Z3770, 2.4GHz, 2W SDP

The 2w spd is refering to the 2c4t saltwell, not the 4c4t silvermont. The silvermont is probably 8w tdp.

Aside, Still don't understand what SPD means...

Looks promising. Also interesting is the fact that it states 2.4 Ghz. So this is obviously one of the higher performance parts..at 2W SDP. I suspect Kabini is in a lot of trouble...

In a discussion in an other thread someone said silvermont / baytrail will get performance like the earliest core 2 duos (mobile parts). Due to lack of IPC compared to core 2 it was estimated it should have about double the frequency to match a mobile core 2 part. So it should have similar perfromance to a 1.2 Ghz core 2 ULV model like su9300.
 
2.4 Ghz is only it's Turbo clock and at 2W SDP it's not going be at that clock for any period of time. If a 2.4 Ghz base clock 4C Silvermont was really just 2x faster when compared to a z2760 and that would place it to be about 10-30% faster than the 1.0 Ghz base 1.4 Ghz turbo A6-1450 and I'm pretty sure that would mean that the Silvermont core is actually regressing in IPC. There have been leaks that a 12W TDP embedded Silvermont SOC would have a top boost clock of 2.0 Ghz.
 
20-30% faster than Temash but still a lot slower in graphics at what is probably the same TDP isn't going to be a game changer. It will be late Q1-Q2 2014 before we see it in devices which means it'll spend most of it's life vs the Temash refresh Anand wrote about or 20nm ARM SoC's.

Something a little funky with that use of punctuation; they seem to run together the Saltwell and Bay Trail sections. Could you link us to the full image?
 
Talk about muddying the waters. Now when we google 3770 we're going to get all sorts of conflicting crap. Why couldnt they call it something else?
 
We have 1.8GHz Atom tablets now, 2.4GHz doesn't seem unlikely. Along with the IPC improvements this chip could actually be acceptable for basic Win8 usage.

Any ideas on release date?

I am looking for a tablet around 400$. I would love a tablet that runs both Win8 AND Android in a dual boot configuration (on the same hardware). Is that possible (even with some kind of hack)? Dream tablet would have cellular (w/ data) too, and actually be able to make calls using a Bluetooth headset. I would pay a lot more than 400$ for that, especially if it had a battery/keyboard dock (useful when I boot up Win8). Id actually pay the insane sum of 1,000$ for that. Even with just a 2.4GHz 4 core Silvermont.
 
Lately Intel seems to be listing Z-series CPUs by their turbo clock instead of listing base and turbo separately. For example: http://ark.intel.com/products/70100/Intel-Atom-Processor-Z2580-1MB-Cache-2_00-GHz

As impressive as Silvermont sounds I strongly doubt they'll be running four cores at 2.4GHz AND the rest of the SoC at base spec using only 2W. I could see one core at 2.4GHz. I guess it all depends what SDP means this time around, I thought it meant base clocks while some cooling specification is met.

you can dual boot bobcat and atoms parts with androidx86, you can even install the arm translator to run arm compiled apps...its just a bit buggy though, not to mention the bobcat apus being stuck with the opensource drivers with low performance.
