Dual Core Intel Atom netbooks announced
Intel Corporation announced today that a dozen new netbooks based on its new mobile dual-core Intel Atom processors are available in stores today.
The netbooks manufacturers include Acer, ASUS, Fujitsu, Lenovo, LG, Samsung, MSI, and Toshiba, said Intel.
According to Intel, consumers will enjoy a more responsive experience with the dual-core Intel Atom processor N550. It retains the same compact form factor, but gains DDR3 memory support and is said to yield battery life similar to the single-core Intel Atom processor N450.
“In their short history, the netbook category has experienced impressive growth,” said Erik Reid, director of marketing for mobile platforms at Intel. “Having shipped about 70 million Intel Atom chips for netbooks since our launch of the category in 2008, there is obviously a great market for these devices around the world.”
