Intel CTO Justin Rattner holds a wafer of Rosepoint system-on-a-chip dies.Last week in his keynote at the Intel Developer Forum, Intel CTO Justin Rattner said, “In the future, if it computes, it connects. From the simplest embedded sensors to the most advanced cloud datacenters, we're looking at techniques to allow all of them to connect without wires." Rattner unveiled two technologies that will overcome the limitations that have prevented the integration of radio technology with computers and other digital devices. The first, what Intel calls the “Moore's Law Radio," is a complete WiFi transceiver on a 32-nanometer scale silicon chip. The second, named Rosepoint, is a complete system-on-a-chip that integrates two Atom processor cores with a digital WiFi transceiver.
