Intel’s Medfield chip has been making the rounds as they prepare it for prime time. Last week we got a glimpse of an Android prototype with the Medfield chip thanks to Technology Review. While their hands on provided us with a few adjectives such as “fast” and “smooth,” we weren’t provided with any real performance specs — that is, until now. VR-Zone got a sneak peek at just how well Intel’s first true SoC performs, and how it compares to its competition.
It would appear that Intel is getting ready to showcase their latest Medfield mobile chips. Sometime last week, Intel was kind enough to allow a few lucky folks over at MIT some hands-on with a few Android prototypes sporting the new chips. Technology Review was able to test out both an Android phone (running Gingerbread) and an Android tablet (running ICS) to see just how well these chips perform. The devices themselves are simply “reference designs” sent out to entice manufactures and have absolutely no bearing on what they may look like when finally produced.
