Moorestown is the Intel Corporation's code name for successor to the Menlow platform designed for mobile Internet devices. Current proposals call for it to use 10 times less power than Silverthorne and to hit the market in 2009-2010

Moorestown is comprised of a system on a chip, code-named “Lincroft”, which integrates the 45nm processor, graphics, memory controller and video encode/decode onto a single chip and an I/O hub codenamed “Langwell”, which supports a range of I/O ports to connect with wireless, storage, and display components in addition to incorporating several board level functions.

Intel demonstrated the world’s first working Moorestown platform at IDF Taipei 2008. Anand Chandrasekher, Intel’s senior vice president and general manager of Intel’s ultra mobility group said that Moorestown “will be a catalyst for exciting and innovative developments that will extend the full Internet experience into the smartphone space with the communication MID”. He indicated that Moorestown platforms will support a range of wireless technologies including 3G, WiMAX, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and mobile TV.

He also announced a collaboration with Ericsson for HSPA data modules optimized for the Moorestown platform, and that Option is extending its collaboration for HSPA modules to the Moorestown platform. These 3G modules come in 25x30x2.x mm small size and are optimized for Moorestown power requirements.
