Porting a Low Cost Intel® Platform to Windows* Ported Platform: Summary: So. C Intel Atom Processor – Bay Trail CR – Z 3735 G – 1. 33 GHz PMIC Low Cost with Integrated FG and Charger Screen Size 7’’ Display 1024 x 600 Storage 16 G Memory 1 GB Camera 2. 0 MP – Rear Camera 0. 3 MP – Front Camera OS Windows* 8. 1 SPP $99 • Delivered the most energy efficient Windows* Tablet powered by Intel with Bay Trail-Entry to the market • Enabled First Windows Tablet powered by Intel on Low cost HW BOM POR components • Running Windows on 1024 x 600 Panel using Intel Downscaling GFX driver support for resolution up to 1280 x 768 • Demonstrated effective collaboration and execution to resolve multiple critical issues throughout the short project : Multiple gating issues resolved now easier to port to Windows *Other names and brands are property of others
Porting an Intel® Platform to Windows* Benefits for ODM/OEM Benefits with an Intel Powered Platform • Ease of porting Windows to existing/launched Tablet. No extra cost for OS • Control of the Infrastructure • Intel based Platform depends on underlying firmware. • Leverage HW design and Pre-boot infrastructure from one design to another • • Reuse Ox. M Factory side Manufacturing costs OS Independent Firmware implementation with strong Multi OS support • Strong commitment to OS framework • Capable Firmware to override HW bugs • Closing Gaps between different OS deliverables on same HW BOM *Other names and brands are property of others
