Project Athena devices coming in Q4 powered by post-Skylake architecture
Computex is upon us and Intel has taken the chance to remove the covers from its miniscule PC project: Project Athena. The new form factor/specification release, powered by the company’s chip-stacking Foveros technology, allows Intel and its OEMs to squeeze an entire x86 PC onto a System-on-chip no bigger than a power brick of your gaming laptop.
Over at Intel’s Computex Industry keynote, Gregory Bryant, Intel’s VP of client computing, explained how the company hopes to build a better mobile device. An all singing, all dancing micro machine that it believes is tailored exactly to the needs of a modern, 21st century user (read: millennial).
The whole concept is built upon six ideas: performance and responsiveness, instant action, intelligence, connectivity, battery life, and form factor. I won’t spend any time dwelling on the obvious ones - battery life is rather self-explanatory. Each and every Project Athena laptop will need to meet stringent rules and regulations, just released in the official 1.0 specification, to acquiesce to each “key experience indicators” - as only Intel could put it.
