AnandTech heard details about Intel's Atom roadmap at the company's 2011 investor meeting, you can check it out over here.It reveals 2013 will deliver the 22nm Silvermont and that a 14nm Airmont core is slated for 2014.
Far more interesting however is that Intel didn�t stop with Silvermont on their Atom roadmap. Intel�s roadmap goes out to 2014 and includes Silvermont�s successor: Airmont. We know even less about Airmont than we do Silvermont, but a good guess would be that it�s the tick in Intel�s tick-tock cadence for Atom. The biggest news here is that with a move to tick-tock for Atom, Intel is finally accelerating the production of Atom parts on their newer fab processes. Currently Atom processors are a year or more behind Core processors for using a new process, and even with Silvermont that�s still going to be the case. But for Airmont that window is shrinking: Airmont will be released on Intel�s forthcoming 14nm process in 2014, the same year as their respective Core processor. Intel hasn�t specified when in 2014 this will be, and it�s likely it will still be months after 14nm launches for Core processors, but nevertheless it�s much sooner than it has been before.
