Intel Announces New Mobile Chipsets for Budget Consumers

Intel Announces New Mobile Chipsets for Budget Consumers

Intel's attempt to break into the mobile game seems to be somewhat successful with both Motorola and Lenovo committed to bring at least one phone to the market with their technology, but Intel's not going to stop with one chipset. First up is the dual-core Intel Atom Z2580. Alongside the added core (a step up from the Atom Z2460), they've also bumped the GPU from a PowerVR SGX540 to a PowerVR SGX544MP2. The second chipset can be described as a weaker version of the Z2460.

It's the Atom Z2000 with a 1GHz single-core processor and a 320MHz GPU. The Atom Z2000 is said to be headed for phones which will cost only $150 off contract.
