Intel as a long-term market leader have upgraded their industrial low power, low cost Atom Platform with feature transfers from their more expensive high end core i-series and Xeon platforms. Implemented in latest, power-saving 14nm technology the new intel Atom generation of Atom processors is now equipped with the latest Intel Trusted Execution Engine (TXE 3.0 and the firmware architecture has been reworked with security as the key baseline.
Also a new, converged security engine has been implemented in the SoC. Secure boot from eMMC (5.0) has been implemented as well as various other advanced security features. Other feature transfers from the latest generation of core-I series processors include Gen9 graphics execution units supporting DX12 and OpenGL 4.2 as well as LPDDR4 RAM. All new is the Goldmont CPU Microarchitecture which executes up to 30 % faster than its predecessor and includes specific real-time features supporting time coordinated computing (TCC).
