Motorola is hitting back hard with not only its first Ice Cream Sandwich handset, but with a smartphone running an Intel core. The phone pictured above is an unnamed Android 4.0 device powered by Intel’s new Medfield platform.

What we can gather from the image above, is that the new Motorola phone will be button-free , as well as sport a newer version of the MotoBlur UI. And according to sources, the camera will be one of the hardware highlights of the device, offering 15-frame per second burst capture. Medfield though, will be the selling point.
It’s all about SoC
Medfield is a system on a chip, or “SoC” platform. This means that the CPU, memory, and other functions are embedded into a single device. Medfield clocks in at an impressive 1.6Ghz and contains a hyper-threaded CPU dubbed “Penwell”, as well as the controllers for the GPU, camera and radio.
