I think Intel is going to stretch this new platform thing for a while. I am hoping that the N470 part, which does have a clock speed increase to 1.83 GHz will give it a little jump in performance. So far it is just a transition part to prove that they can get the Atom to maintain performance and cut the power consumption a little bit. I agree completely.

It really makes me worried (monopoly) when Intel can release a so called new processor which offers....nothing in terms of improvements. Don't bother saying an increased battery life if worth $20 because the difference between 10 hours and 15 is meaningless to most people. I just hope this type of game by Intel can open up the door for some kind of competitor who can offer up something without being worried about their "other" products not selling. I really just can't think of a time when after months, a new processor could come out and the "new" technology doesn't do anything faster. Intel really has it easy right now and this Pinetrail rubbish is just the exclamation point. It's a joke. I can't wait for "pinetrail" to leave the headlines. I completely agree.

It seems to only improve power consumption which is good but by no means worth all the hoopla surrounding it. Netbooks are already where they need to be and unless there's is a significant increase in processing power you might as well purchase a Atom N270/N280 netbook if there still available.

The Atom, Pine Trail are all jokes. As for me, CULV is the only way forward. The Atom, Pine Trail are all jokes.

And yes, this is new generation. Pine Trail is a platform; compare it to the last…

Yes, it has marginally faster CPU…I'm not complaining about its speed for such ultraportables; perhaps you should use more efficient software.

They can milk the market better by keeping the lines between netbook and CULV defined and force people to step up into the $500+ price bracket for a old gen C2D or a new gen CULV.

I really do think the Pinetrail is a bit of false advertising. It's like saying hey, this is the latest netbook with the newest processor. Oh, and by the way it's not any faster than the netbooks from mid 2009. Just friendly critique, I think "next-generation" shouldn't be used in the same breath as this "new" Atom processor. It's a joke imo. I really have a hard time anyone calling this a next-generation processor. I really do think the Pinetrail is a bit of false advertising.
