Intel is expanding the range of its Atom processors for mobile devices with a new entry level version codenamed SoFIA. The processor will lack LTE and 4G capabilities, instead limiting itself to 3G connections in order to cater to value minded consumers.
Intel President Renee James demonstrated the processor in an unidentified smartphone. The SoFIA SoC will be produced in a partnership with Rockchip, and should be available in both smartphones and tablets by the first half of 2015.
