Intel’s Clover Trail is a bloated nightmare
http://semiaccurate.com/2012/09/27/intels-clover-trail-is-a-bloated-nightmare/
I realize this is CLT, not CLT+, but it serves to further my point that Intel's chips in this space have been pretty disappointing thus far. Bay Trail at 102mm^2 was also a bit of a shock, but for the performance it gives and for the features it has, it's nowhere near as bad as CLT+ which seems to be nearly 100mm^2.
Back to Clover Trail, this joke of a chip is bigger yet. Double the core count and massively increase the GPU size, and what do you end up with? Increasing the size of the two largest units on the chip may not double the area, but it won’t be far off that mark. Clover Trail is massive, so big that it is not economically viable in the markets that they are fighting for. That promise from the last financial analyst day of good margins on Atom in the phone/tablet market would go up in smoke if Intel released the die size, and they know it. Intel can’t compete in tablets and phones.
