The Asus Eee PC 1215N jumps the gun, sporting a dual core Atom, but it is not the N550 which has been recently announced. Rather it uses the more desktop D525 Atom, which is a more current version of the 330 which found its way into a few portable products. Rounding out the package are [...]

The netbook has been stuck at a certain performance level for years now. The Atom N270 gave way to the N450, and then the N455, and along the way the performance did not significantly change.

After all, some dual core goodness is what the netbook could benefit from, with some extra processing power to have it more effectively compete with a full featured laptop.
