It’s called ‘Silvermount’, will have the new 3D tri-gate transistors, and will be a System-on-chip (SOC) like all those ARM processors out there. Is Intel trying to enter the mobile market with their next generation Atom processors?

According to CNET, the new Atom processor, which is expected to land on 2013, is said to be designed specifically to take advantage of Intel’s 22nm technology and 3D transistors. As it stands, though, they boost the cost of wafers by two to three percent, so here’s hoping that premium comes down before the netbooks of the future hit the market, if netbook is still relevant by then.
