Silvermont is Intel's New Atom Architecture Using 3D Transistors

Intel is reportedly working on a new Atom-based micro-architecture codenamed "Silvermont" set to ship in 2013. The new chip architecture is based on Intel's recently announced 3D transistors and is supposed to enable better integration, performance, and power efficiency. As with all upcoming Atom chips, Silvermont will be a system-on-a-chip (SoC) design.
