Intel today announced its innovative Lakefield SoC design, a new style of chip using the Foveros chip-stacking technology to create tiny full PC boards for a new breed of thin-and-light laptops and other devices. We had heard about the Sunny Cove-based chip when Intel had its Architecture Day just before the end of 2018, but now it has a name, and a project to call its own. Project Athena is the Battlestar Galactica-inspired name Intel has given its new program aimed at creating a new class of advanced laptop which will use the efficient, miniscule Lakefield motherboards to power its devices. The processor itself is just 12mm2, and the board isn’t much longer than a mobile phone. Intel is calling it the company’s smallest full PC motherboard. “I don’t think you have to be a PhD in Material Science or packaging technologies to understand what it means,” says Intel’s Gregory Bryant. “It means we can do smaller chips, smaller boards, more efficient, better designs. It’s going to unleash some great performance and platform innovation in the industry.”
