Next-gen Intel Atoms tinier, cooler

Two-chip design should enable cheaper, thinner netbooks,

The next generation of Intel Corp.'s Atom family of processors will eschew a faster CPU in favor of an architectural overhaul that Intel and at least one analyst say will result in better performance over today's Atom-based netbooks and net-top PCs.

the upcoming wave of Atom CPUs, code-named Pineview, will include the single-core N450 for netbooks, and the single-core D410 and the dual-core D510 for net-top, or mini-desktop, PCs.All will run at a clock speed of 1.66 GHz and come in single or dual-core versions,

Next-gen Intel Atoms tinier, cooler -- but only modestly faster

The next generation of Intel Corp.'s Atom family of processors will eschew a faster CPU in favor of an architectural overhaul that Intel and at least one analyst said will result in better performance over today's Atom-based netbooks and net-top PCs.

In comparison, today's single-core Atom CPUs, the N270 and the N280, run at 1.6 GHz and 1.66 GHz, respectively, while the dual-core N330 for net-top PCs runs at 1.6 GHz.

They will run much cooler than existing Atoms. The N450 will use an average of 2 watts, versus 4 watts for the existing N270, while its Thermal Design Power (TDP), a measure of the maximum amount of heat generated, is 7 watts, compared with 16 watts for the N270.

the next generation intel chip is more useful thing but it cost should be high
with the plan they are ready with next generation its really nice
they are developing more advanced
