Simply put for general performance they are on par or slightly slower. Anything that requires any real horsepower the Intel Medfield just can’t compare to the OMAP 44xx, S4, Tegra 3 or Exynos 44xx/42xx. By the time Intel drops Clover Trail the Cortex A15 based SoCs will be out from the various manufacturers and Intel will once again be left in the dust.

LOL it will be releasing with the Intel Atom. Wow talk about underpowered device on launch. The Snapdragon S4 dual and quad core as well as the Exynos dual/quad and Tegra 3 are all becoming staples of the current gen smart phones. By the time Intel rolls out its’ second gen chip the A15 based units will be dropping and again Intel will be the underpowered econo option. Hell the new dual core Cortex A5 looks more interesting that the current Intel offering.

I didn’t even know intel processors could work in phones, man an i7 chip in a phone or tablet with 8 gb ram like a gaming laptop would revolutionize mobile gaming.

it means the side edges, and logically that’s all it could ever mean. If you get rid of the top bezel where are the FFC and the earpiece going to be? And I’d have to see a render to eb sure but I imagine a phone with no lower bezel and only a top bezel would look like crap.

I think it has something to do with that really small gap between the phone screen and bezel where there are no pixels and its just s black line. Maybe they are getting rid of this.

Don’t really know too much about these Intel processors that are going to be used in smartphones… are they the same as the ones being used in netbooks?? they seem to have the same names… and also, how do they stack up against processors being used in smartphones and tablets, like the S4, TI OMAP, and such???

Early in the year/late last year US phones pulled within a hair’s breath of Euro phones, now the gap is back. Ugh.

And people wonder why I go GSM unbranded.

Still scratching my head today- what exactly does edge to edge mean? Cause I still see a bezel..

Maybe but it seems the Europe devices are better.

I wonder why not the Intel processor in the USA?

The render is eerily similar. Really shows how long this device has been in development. I’m actually kind of surprised it kept virtually the same look over the course of this year.
