Emulation support for the Intel® Secure Hash Algorithm (Intel® SHA) extensions present on the Intel Goldmont microarchtiecture.

Emulation support for the Intel® Memory Protection Extensions (Intel® MPX) present on the Intel Skylake and Goldmont microarchitectures.

Intel made this announcement last year, but Silvermont is the beginning of Intel’s tick-tock cadence for Atom. Intel plans on revving Atom yearly for at least the next three years. Silvermont introduces a new architecture, while Airmont will take that architecture and bring it down to 14nm in 2014/2015. One year later, we’ll see another brand new architecture take the stage also on 14nm. This is a shift that Intel needed to implement years ago, but it’s still not too late.

So its 2013 Silvermont (22nm, new architecture) ->2014 Airmont (14nm, die shrink) -> 2015 Goldmont (14nm, new architecture).

goldmont? didnt AT mention Airmont as the successor to Silvermont
knowing skylake is 2015, could goldmont come after airmont

although gold after silver sounds logical

Yay, next gen Atom code-name is public now!

I lurb codenames.

What's next? Platinumont?

Something about it just doesn't roll off the tongue like most other Intel codenames do.

It adds new instructions which are shared with Skylake- coming out at roughly the same time as it would make sense to me.

2013 - Silvermont (new uArch )
2014 - Airmont (shrink, hopefully some enhancements?)
2015 - Goldmont (new uArch)

Platinum, then Titanium, followed by Signature and ultimately "Black" if they are following the Marketing 101 handbook created by the credit-card industry

But...if Intel really wanted to be savvy and stick with Group 11 elements from the periodic table then they'd follow Goldmont with element 111 (Roentgenium, pronounced runt-GEN-ee-əm) and roll out codename Roentgeniumont. (rolls off the tongue like silk, don't it )

roentgen, now there is a word that's fallen out of use.

Roentgen discovered and named x-rays. But the science/medical communities called them roentgen rays in his honor.

What we call Radiology today was previously roentgenology.
