Intel to provide DDR3, HD and DirectX 10.1 support for netbooks in 2011?
Intel's new 'Cedar Trail' Atom platform will apparently support DDR3, HD content and DirectX 10.1
According to Fudzilla.com, Intel is developing a new Atom platform called 'Cedar Trail'. The first CPU is rumoured to be the 'Cedarview' and measures just 32nm. It will have an integrated memory controller that supports DDR3 1066 memory modules; although Intel plans to support only single channel memory, it may support two DIMMs.
Fudzilla.com has also reported that the Cedarview will utilise a new graphics core, enabling support for DirectX 10.1, HD (such as Blu-ray and 'official certification as well as Dual digital display'), VGA, LVDA, LVDS, eDP, HDMI and DisplayPort.
If the rumours are true, then Atom-based netbooks will be far more powerful in the future as a result of these developments. Netbooks that give users a wide range of multimedia support are bound to be in high demand, as long as prices are kept down and portability and battery life are not compromised. With exciting new developments such as DDR3 support however, battery life longevity in Atom-based netbooks should continue to improve.
