Asus Will Launch Zenfone ii amongst Intel moorefield in addition to Merrifield ?



CES 2015 nosotros are real unopen distance, ASUS inward French Republic on the twelfth is likewise the start to denote that at that spot volition hold upward a novel phase inward the global consumer electronics show.

France on the 12th, it seems that quite a lot of speak ZenFone, but let's non focus on the numbers, but i called "ZenFone 2" products.

ASUS seems to hold upward determined volition seat out the side past times side generation of ZenFone at CES 2015, the electrical flow approach is non named creative brief to "ZenFone 2" to telephone band it, but at that spot is tidings that the official refer may vary.


According to ASUS, PadFone purpose Qualcomm Snapdragon (now beingness ZenFone tightly pressed, a curt fourth dimension should non hold upward a novel bar), MeMO Pad using other processors (later changed to the total Intel), in addition to is currently the largest cases of ZenFone serial is based on Intel processor based. Only i ZenFone v LTE using Qualcomm processor, which is of course of written report because 4G LTE market, but since the sales performance was non equally inexpensive Intel better.

Another Speculation ZenFone 2 volition purpose Intel Atom processor, but I intend from the electrical flow 22nm Clover Trail + upgrade to the Moorefield Merrifield or 2 64 flake SoC products.

As tin hold upward seen, ASUS ZenFone withal inward instant generation of "affordable luxury" phrase rather contradictory rhetoric marketing mobile phones, patch likewise made vi major features are "design aesthetics", "camera", "ZenUI user interface." "sound", "operational effectiveness" in addition to "battery hour" equally the demands of ZenFone 2.

Published inward the CES 2015 the ASUS Keynote, liberate date, cost in addition to style, I believe at that spot volition hold upward farther inward front end Keynote answers. If yous similar ASUS, at the same fourth dimension similar their ZenFone, it would facial expression a niggling bit.
                                       Intel Merrifield & Moorefield Specs
Intel Atom Z3460 Intel Atom Z3480 Intel Atom Z3560 Intel Atom Z3580
Codename Merrifield Merrifield Moorefield Moorefield
CPU Cores/Threads 2/2 2/2 4/4 4/4
CPU Max Turbo Clock 1.60GHz 2.13GHz 1.80GHz 2.33GHz
GPU PowerVR G6400 PowerVR G6400 PowerVR G6430 PowerVR G6430
Max GPU Clock 533MHz 533MHz 533MHz 533MHz

Both Merrifield in addition to Moorefield are built on Intel's 22nm SoC process, bringing mobile parity alongside the residue of Intel's businesses. The parity won't end for long inward phones equally Intel is expecting to laid out its 14nm Broadwell after this twelvemonth but it's a much ameliorate even than it used to be. Merrifield features 2 Silvermont cores sharing a 1MB L2 cache in addition to running at upward to 2.13GHz. Moorefield doubles both gist count in addition to cache size, patch increasing max frequency to 2.3GHz. Intel continues to follow the industry's terrible Pb in addition to quotes max turbo frequencies rather than base of operations clocks inward its marketing materials.




While Intel uses its Gen graphics inward Bay Trail, the GPU inward both SoCs is withal from IMG. Merrifield features the PowerVR Series 6 G6400, patch Moorefield uses the G6430. Both are 4 cluster designs, the latter is but optimized for higher performance. This is roughly the same GPU configuration Apple uses inward the iPhone 5s/iPad Air, but at somewhat higher frequencies from what I tin say (and of course, built on Intel's 22nm procedure in addition to non Samsung's 28nm).
