Silvermont is a microarchitecture for low-power Atom, Celeron and Pentium branded processors used in systems on a chip (SoCs) made by Intel. Silvermont forms the basis for a total of four SoC families:
- Merrifield and Moorefield consumer SoCs intended for smartphones
- Bay Trail consumer SoCs aimed at tablets, hybrid devices, netbooks, nettops, and embedded/automotive systems
- Avoton SoCs for micro-servers and storage devices
- Rangeley SoCs targeting network and communication infrastructure.
Silvermont was announced to news media on May 6, 2013 at Intel's headquarters at Santa Clara, California. Intel has repeatedly said the first Bay Trail devices will be available during the Holiday 2013 timeframe, while leaked slides show the most recent release window for Bay Trail-T as August 28-September 13, 2013. Both Avoton and Rangeley were announced as being available in the second half of 2013. The first Merrifield devices are expected in 1H14.
Airmont is the 14 nm die shrink of Silvermont, launched in early 2015 and first seen in the Atom x7-Z8700 as used in the Microsoft Surface 3. Airmont microarchitecture includes the following SoC families:
- Braswell consumer SoCs aimed at PCs
- Cherry Trail consumer SoCs aimed at tablets.
Silvermont is a historic home located at Brevard, Transylvania County, North Carolina. It was built in 1916-1917, and is a two-story, five bay, Colonial Revival style brick dwelling with a gambrel roof. Also on the property is a one-story, stone veneer cottage. It has a rear ell, two-story front portico supported by columns with Corinthian order capitals, one-story wraparound porch, porte cochere, and sunroom. The house and grounds were donated to Transylvania County in 1972, and serve as a public recreation center.
