Intel may be the biggest company that's exhibiting at CES 2013 this week that has a direct relationship with Microsoft in terms of its Windows 8 support. Today, the company held a press conference in Las Vegas where it announced a number of new processors made for Windows PCs.
Intel's press release offers up the details of its CES reveals, which includes a new 22nm Atom chip, code name "Bay Trail", that will be the successor to the "Clover Trail" processor that launched in several Windows 8 tablets in 2012. Intel said:
The first quad-core Atom SoC will be the most powerful Atom processor to date, delivering more than two times the computing performance of Intel's current generation tablet offering. It will also include new improved integrated security offerings. These improvements will enable new experiences for business and personal use in devices as thin as 8mm that have all-day battery life and weeks of standby, all at lower prices.
