Intel demonstrated the world’s first working Moorestown platform at the 2008 Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in Taipei, Taiwan.

Codenamed “Lincroft”, the Moorestown is a system on a chip (SoC) that incorporates a 45nm processor, graphics, memory controller, an I/O hub codenamed “Langwell” and other components in a single silicon chip

Intel claims that a large range of wireless technologies will be supported by Moorestown like 3G, WiMAX, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and mobile TV. Intel also announced that they plan to work with Ericsson to develop HSPA data modules that will be optimized for Moorestown.

Intel claims that Moorestown-based devices will use as little as one-tenth the power than an Atom processor-based mobile devices will use.

Moorestown will be released sometime between 2009 and 2010.
