In addition to the new Broadwell chips it's announcing today, Intel is also sharing a little information on "Cherry Trail," its new SoCs for Windows and Android tablets. The company has begun shipping them to its partners today. Cherry Trail will replace the Bay Trail Atom SoCs that ship in Intel-powered tablets, and while Intel isn't talking branding or specific SKUs, it's probable that it will continue to use the Atom name for Cherry Trail.
Like Broadwell, Cherry Trail chips use Intel's new 14nm manufacturing process. Yield problems early on have pushed the entire first wave of 14nm chips back a few months from when they were originally scheduled to launch, though things slowly continue to improve.

Aside from 14nm, Cherry Trail brings two big updates to the table: first, the Airmont CPU architecture is a refinement of the Silvermont architecture in the Bay Trail chips. Second, Cherry Trail improves the GPU, jumping from a cut-down Ivy Bridge-class GPU to a cut-down Broadwell-class GPU. Cherry Trail uses the same GPU architecture as Broadwell, just with fewer of Intel's "execution units" (EUs)—it should feature the same level of API support along with its increased performance. Current rumors say the Cherry Trail GPU will have 16 EUs compared to 24 EUs in the Intel HD 5500 and 48 EUs in the Intel HD 6000.

Finally, Intel says that Cherry Trail can also be paired with Intel's XMM 726x-series LTE modems to provide cellular connectivity.

Some Bay Trail variants (Bay Trail M and D) were also branded as Celerons and Pentiums, and these were used in low-end laptops like the HP Stream 11 we reviewed recently. Cherry Trail isn't going to replace those; they will be supplanted by a product called "Braswell" (in case you don't have enough codenames to keep track of). Braswell should use CPU and GPU configurations similar to Cherry Trail with different I/O capabilities and other small tweaks that make them better-suited for low-cost PCs rather than tablets. Those chips should begin shipping later in the year.

Consumer products with Cherry Trail chips in them should begin to appear in the first half of 2015.

new incoming power under the hood for Bay series, replacing old Bay Trail, cool.
Hope new tablets/boxes are coming soon :-)

16EU would put it on par with the graphics in the Haswell Celeron in the Chromebox if I'm not mistaken.

Slightly above as the Haswell Celerons have either 10 or 12 EU's, can't remember the precise amount.
