Intel has announced a bunch of exciting things this morning. The first thing they mentioned is that their Moorestown platform aka the Atom Z6xx Series is capable of powering handsets for up to 10 days of standby time, which is somewhat impressive. This CPU will support both MeeGo and Android handsets, so it could hit a phone near you soon. Other important points is that the handsets running on these chips will last 4 hours watching 1080p HD video, 5 hours of browsing, and 6 hours when talking over a 3G network. At this event, Intel also showed off one of their prototype phones running on the Moorestown CPU. It was able to play Quake 3 at an impressive 100fps - there's a picture below but that doesn't do any justice.
The last thing Intel mentioned is that they're promising that the first handset running
MeeGo will be available before Christmas aka the end of the year. We don't know who will be producing this handset, but it'll likely be Nokia.
