Next-gen Atom gets faster sibling
N450 to be joined by N470
9th September 2009 16:06 GMT
Intel's 'Pineview' processor looks set to run more quickly at launch than previously anticipated.
The next-gen Atom netbook CPU, due in Q1 2010, was expected to debut at 1.66GHz as the N450. A couple of websites are now suggesting it will be accompanied by the N470, which will be clocked at 1.83GHz.
The N450 was said to have a maximum power consumption of under 7W. The figure reported for the N470 is 6.5W.
That's 4W more than the 2.5W N280, but with an on-board graphics core and memory controller removing the need for a complex, power-hungry northbridge chip, N4x0-based netbooks should consume less power in aggregate than their predecessors.
Like the N280, the N450 and N470 will sit on a 667MHz frontside bus. As before, the new chips will include HyperThreading and 64-bit support. ®
