The launch of Moorestown will be accompanied by a new version of Moblin, a Linux-based operating system (OS) that Intel created for small devices.

Moorestown is an energy efficient set of chips Intel is aiming at small computers that can fit in your pocket that Intel calls mobile Internet devices (MID). The chip family will be based on the company’s Lincroft system-on-chip (SoC) that includes an Atom microprocessor core and a memory controller hub. The accompanying chipset is code named Langwell.

On Wednesday, Intel’s head of Ultra Mobility, Anand Chandrasekher showed off a device with Moorestown using 10 times less power when idling than a similar device running a current Atom chip.

The new version of Moblin software will be optimized for a PC-like experience on the Internet and cellular voice capabilities, Intel said in a statement.

Moorestown will be the first family of chips that Intel puts 3G cellular capabilities into, so people can make phone calls on small devices made using the chips.
