Intel Atom logo

We’d heard recently that Intel was stepping up the pace on development of new low power Atom chips, and now the company has confirmed that it hopes to launch 14nm Atom chips by 2013. That means Intel will be releasing a new generation of Atom processor every year for the next three years, starting with the 32nm Cedar Trail platform…

oak trail 2

Intel is stepping up the pace on development of next-generation Atom chips. While the company has dominated the netbook space with its line of low power Atom processors for the last few years, the growing tablet and smartphone markets are currently dominated by low power ARM-based chips. Intel has been working to reduce power consumption of its chips while increasing…

Intel officially launches the Atom N570 dual core chip

Computer makers have been showing off netbooks with Intel Atom N570 chips for the past few months, but Intel has finally gotten around to officially introducing the new chip. As expected, it’s a slight variation on the Atom N550 dual core chip offering slightly higher clock speeds without any major change in power consumption. Th Atom N570 is a 1.66…

Next-gen Intel Atom desktop chips on the way

More next-gen Intel Atom chip details emerging?

We’d already heard that Intel was preparing to launch a dual core Atom processor for netbooks in the coming months. Now Fudzilla is reporting that the next-generation Atom CPU will be a 45nmchip with a clock speed of 1.5GHz. The new chip will reportedly draw more power than Intel’s current chips — which is hardly surprising, since it will have…

Pine Trail: smaller, cheaper – and 20% less energy consumption?

atom roadmap

Fudzilla has gotten their hands on a few more details about Intel’s upcoming Pine Trail platform. Most noteworthy is the news that there will be an estimated 20% reduction in power consumption. Some blogs have asked whether this will translate to 20% longer battery life. Not likely, since the power savings here only refers to the Pine Trail core components….

Intel Atom Cedar Trail platform to support HD video?

Let’s go ahead and file this squarely in the rumor category for now, because Intel doesn’t like to talk about unreleased products and because 2011 is an eternity away when it comes to the tech world. But hot on the heels of yesterday’s rumor that the successor to the upcoming Intel Atom Pine Trail platform would be called Cedar Trail,…

Best Buy reminds me why I don’t love the word “netbook”

best-buy-laptop-companion

There’s been a lot of talk over the last few days about the word “netbook.” I think it’s silly that Psion is starting to protect its trademark a year after people started using the word netbook widely. But at the same time, I’ve never been a huge fan of the word. Because it implies that mini-laptops are only good as…

Asus rolls out Celeron-powered Eee Box

eee-box-b203

As expected, Asus has added a new version of its Eee Box to its lineup of low power, low profile desktops. The Asus Eee Box B203 is pretty much identical to the original Eee Box B202 except it’s powered by an Intel C220 Celeron processor instead of an Intel Atom chip. The rest of the specs look pretty standard. The…

Did Microsoft just show off an Eee PC with a dual core Atom CPU?

Update: Engadget confirms that this was a slip of the tongue, and not actually a netbook with a dual core CPU. Probably not. But during a presentation at WinHEC yesterday, a presenter pulled out an Asus Eee PC S101 which he described as having 1GB of RAM, a 16GB SSD and a 1.6GHz dual core Atom processor. In other words,…

Dell Inspiron Mini 9: Too cool for fans

AnandTech has posted one of the most thorough reviews of the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 laptop I’ve see to date. And buried on page 10 of that review is an interesting fact: the dell netbook ships without a CPU fan. The Intel Atom CPU is designed to be a low power chip, and as such it doesn’t generate as much…
