Good work
I like the combination of analysts and moles giving early warning to purchasers of IT hardware.
The cloak 'and' the dagger please.
Intel has said that its next-generation Atom processor for netbooks - codenamed 'Pine Trail' - will debut in Q4, but it now appears we can narrow that down to 'early Q4'. Asian moles say the CPU - to come to market as the Atom N450 - will launch in October. The 64-bit capable part will run at the same speed as today's N280, 1. …
With an integrated graphics and io controller I assume that the power draw of the entire system will drop a fair bit?
IIRC the current generation of netbooks draw around 25-30w, mainly thanks to the chipset. If this eliminates the need for the big drinkers in the chipset, could this lead to an entire-system figure closer to 15-20w?
