Intel’s Atom has hardly ever been overpriced, and in fact, one of the selling features of the low power chip has been the price. Typically, Intel cuts the price of an older chip when the new one debuts, you know, to match the performance to the price. The next gen’ Atom chips are under the codename [...]
Continue reading...While the next generation Atom is Cedar Trail, there is a glimpse into what is happening beyond it. The code name is Silvermont, and at this a point a few details are known. These include that it will ship in 2013, be built on a 22 nm process, and utilize that new Tri-Gate transistors that [...]

Netbooks were born and bred to be cheap and limited. Nobody wanted them to replace traditional notebooks, and especially at the cheaper prices, so a max of a 10.1″ screen and 1 GB of RAM have been what it is.

Intel has been happy to keep the Atom’s performance at the same level for quite some time now. Apart from the dual core N550 atom, which is only in a few machines, the ubiquitous single core Atom is still near where it started. With some competition from AMD’s Fusion platform, particularly in the graphics department, the [...]

Intel’s Atom processor, at the heart of so many netbooks had been an ideal blend of power efficient performance when it debuted back in 2008. However, despite plenty of model number changes, the latest Atoms, with the exception of the dual core N550, really have had no significant performance increase since introduction. With AMD’s Bobcat due [...]
