INTEL HAS OFFICIALLY announced the newest additions to the Atom processors family today. Intel's new Atom CPUs feature integrated graphics as well as the new efficient and compact two-chip NM10 Express chipset.
The newest Intel Atom platform for netbooks consists of a new Intel Atom processor, the N450, and a new low-power Intel NM10 Express Chipset. For entry level desktop PCs, it consists of either the Intel Atom processor D410 or the dual core D510, also paired with the Intel NM10 Express Chipset. The Intel Atom processor was designed from the ground up for small devices and low power, and remains Intel's smallest chip, built on the company's 45nm high-k metal gate manufacturing process. They however did not disclose the pricing and availability for the new parts.
Intel claims it has shipped in excess of 40 million Atom processors for netbooks since the chip's introduction in mid 2008. |
