More details about the Intel Atom N470 processor
Atom N450 to run at 1.66GHz while Atom N470 will run at 1.83GHz
Intel will soon launch its new PineTrail Mobile platform that incorporates the processor and graphics core on the same chip. This platform is due for a release in Q1 2010. The processors under this platform include - Atom N450 and Atom N470. With the launch of these two processors users will see a change in the usual netbook configuration that currently includes the Atom N270 and Atom N280 processor.
The Intel Atom N450 processor will run at a clock speed of 1.66GHz and will use less energy than the other processors, thanks to the integrated graphics and memory control functions being on the same single chip.
The next processor based on the Pine Train platform is the Intel Atom N470 which will supposedly run at a clock speed of 1.83GHz and it will have a 667MHz system bus. Since, this chip is also based on the Pine Trail platform it means that the graphics and processor will be on the same chip. This processor will also support hyperthreading. This chip will have a TDP of 6.5 watts, which is significantly higher than the 2.5 watt TDP of the Atom N270 processor but, the Atom N270 chip requires a separate graphics controller, which also sucks power. The N470 will use the BGA 22x22mm packaging.
It is believed that the Intel Atom N470 will run faster than the Atom N270 while using lesser energy.
