storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is
0:16
linkis this is it guys Intel is finally
0:20
serious business about smartphones so they have not only Medfield on display
0:24
which is running at 1.6 GHz here and is actually running at 2 GHz on the a
0:30
Motorola Razer I over there which is
0:33
very very cool so it's the first smartphone to run at 2 GHz they are also
0:37
introducing their Lexington platform which runs at 1.2 GHz now both of these
0:41
platforms are single cores but they both run hyperthreading technology which
0:46
means that while the processor is waiting for data from the memory it can
0:50
go do other stuff and from the word on
0:53
the street we are hearing that it is competitive particularly the Medfield
0:57
platform with first generation quad core processor
1:00
in a lot of different areas not only performance but also in terms of battery
1:05
life now check this out this guy behind me has actually been running that phone
1:09
all day it's still got about 70% battery he's streaming over HDMI playing a game
1:13
well he was playing a game until he started talking to that gentleman so he's been playing a game at 1080p on the
1:18
TV right here that is the 1.6 GHz
1:21
platform which is not even the premium one now that lower end Lexington one is
1:25
actually targeted smarted phones under $200 which is extremely exciting
1:30
especially in regions outside of North America where things are still more
1:34
developing the economy is developing and people are looking for a cheaper
1:37
platform that doesn't necessarily compromise in terms of the functionality
1:41
and the performance don't miss any of our CES 2013 coverage and don't forget
