At the Mobile World Congress, Intel brings an upgraded 32-nm smartphone processor. Intel indicates that it has made progress since it came to MWC a year ago without any Atom-based smartphone design wins. But the PC giant is still playing catch up in a segment dominated by ARM-based SoCs from Qualcomm, Nvidia and many others.

Intel’s Clover Trail+, now shipping, sports three times the graphics of Intel’s current Atom-based Medfield smartphone platform thanks to use of the SGX 544MP2 dual-core graphics of Imagination Technologies, the company said. The dual-core, dual-threaded Atom chip runs up to 2 GHz and can decode 1080-progressive video at 30 frames/second.

Clover Trail+ powers Lenovo’s IdeaPhone K900, which will be available for sale outside China soon, an Intel spokeswoman said. What’s more, Intel will disclose Acer, Asus and OEMs in India and Africa that are using Lexington, its smartphone platform for entry-level markets.
