Overclocked HP Mini 2140 runs at up to 1.9GHz

Brad Linder — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 18:01:31 +0000

The Intel Atom N270 processor is designed to run at a handful of clock speeds. But it generally tops out at somewhere around 1.6GHz or 1.7GHz. And you need to have the proper hardware and software in place to overclock it. Unfortunately, HP has discouraged users from overclocking the HP Mini 2140 by locking the hardware to prevent overclocking software...

Is Intel phasing out the Atom N280/GN40 chipset?

Brad Linder — Tue, 12 May 2009 13:14:54 +0000

Intel could begin phasing out the Atom N280 chip and GN40 graphics chipset. Digitimes reports the move is due to low demand. The Intel Atom N280 CPU runs at 1.66GHz, which is only moderately faster than the 1.6GHz clock speed of the older Atom N270 CPU. The N280 also has faster bus speed and the GN40 chipset is designed to offer...

Intel Atom N270, N280 chips compared, benchmarked

Brad Linder — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 20:28:52 +0000

The Intel Atom N280 CPU is showing up in more and more netbooks. The Asus Eee PC 1000HE, Acer Aspire One D150, and upcoming MSI Wind U123 all use the latest generation version of the Intel Atom CPU. It's a little bit faster than the N270 that has been on the market for about a year. The N280 runs at 1.66GHz...

Intel could raise the price of Intel Atom processors

Brad Linder — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:47:58 +0000

The Intel Atom N270 CPU has become pretty popular since it launched in mid-2008. Nearly every major computer manufacturer has put out a netbook powered by this 1.6GHz chip in the last half year or so. And it looks like an increase in the number of white-box computer makers in China placing orders could lead to a shortage of Atom...

Today’s netbooks run OS X about as well as a 4 year old iBook g4

Brad Linder — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 18:06:56 +0000

People have been loading OS X on netbooks without Apple's consent for a while now, and it turns out the operating system runs surprisingly well on many Intel Atom-powered mini-laptops. Sure, an MSI Wind U100 isn't going to be able to outperform a MacBook Pro with a dual core CPU, but it turns out the Intel Atom N270 handles most...

How to overclock an MSI Wind to 2.3GHz the hard way

Brad Linder — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 14:59:49 +0000

The Intel Atom N270 CPU is pretty easy to overclock and underclock. So while the chip is described as a 1.6GHz CPU, it's pretty simple to get it to run at speeds between 800MHz and 1.9GHz. In fact, Asus, MSI, and other netbook makers even include handy software utilities that will let you increase or decrease the clock speed with...

PC Corner promises dual core CPU upgrades for netbooks

Brad Linder — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 14:46:43 +0000

The other day a Microsoft employee giving a presentation at WinHEC accidentally suggested that the Asus Eee PC S101 has a dual core Intel Atom processor. But the truth of the matter is that while Intel has developed a dual core version of the Atom chip, it's meant for desktops or larger laptops. Not netbooks. The dual core Atom 330...
