During the ongoing Computex 2013 show, Intel unveiled their latest generation Atom chipset.

The processor is quad-core, based on the Trail-T SoC, with built-in 4G LTE and 4K support. The chips are designed for Windows 8 and Android tablets.

Just like the new Haswell processors, the Atoms are built on a 22nm process.
Intel is planning octo-core SoCs later this year. The company says the quad-core CPUs deliver twice the performance of current generation chips, when in a single-threaded situation.

Finally, the company promises over "8 hours of battery life on a 30Wh battery while playing a 1080p@30 fps video."
