We’re seeing a new trend and we like it – dual core netbooks . First it was the Eee PC 1215PN that used Intel’s shiny new dual core Atom N550 netbook chips and now Acer has one in theworks too. Macles has posted details about a new Acer Aspire One D255 netbook with the dual core Atom chip. Aesthetically, this new Acer Aspire One D255 looks a lot like the recently launched Aspire One D260 , but of course, it features the Atom N550 processor with dual 1.5GHz cores and 512KB of L2 cache. Like other Atom processors, the N550 supports hyperthreading, which means that Windows will report you have 4 CPUs… even though you don’t. Still, the hyperthreading should give you a bit of a boost when performing some tasks or multitasking

Notebook Italia spotted two new Asus 10″ netbooks via Hungarian e-tailer and some listings on the Asus support site seem to confirm the same. Liliputing reached out to Asus, who confirmed the new models and also seemingly indicated that the two new models will have a new case design (from the current Eee PC 1005-series netbooks). The differences are more than skin deep. There are also several different processor options including a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 CPU (with support for DDR2 memory) or the newer DDR3-capable 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 or 1.83GHz Intel Atom N475 processors. Bluetooth 3.0 is coming as an option on the higher-spec model as well. Pricing is also expected to be a little lower at launch than the Eee PC 1005 series, but we don’t know when the UK will see them yet. Check out the specs after the break. Asus Eee PC 1015PED Screen : 10,1″ Resolution: WSVGA LED (1024×600) CPU : Intel Atom N475 (1,83 GHz, 512 KB) HDD : 250 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA RAM : 1 x 1 GB DDR3-1066 VGA : Intel GMA 3150 OS: Windows 7 Starter WLAN : b/g/n Webcam : 0,3 megapixel Bluetooth : 3.0 USB : 3 x USB 2.0 VGA : 1 x VGA LAN (RJ45) : 10/100 Modem (RJ-11) : Nincs Battery: 6 cell Adapter : 40 W Net Weight: 1,27 kg Dimensions: 262 x 178 x 25,1-36,4 mm

The MSI Wind U135DX (above) may look familir. If it does, it’s because it’s identical to the current MSI Wind U135 . But there is one important difference. This new model has a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 processor while the original ships with a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 chip. The only real difference between Intel’s N450 and N455 chips is that the Atom N455 supports DDR3 memory, but for some reason the MSI product page for the Wind U135DX says the netbook ships with 1GB of DDR2 RAM. Go figure. The rest of the specs are, a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, Intel GMA 3150 graphics, 160GB hard drive, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, a 0.3MP camera, flash card reader, 3 USB ports, and VGA output. The MSI Wind U135DX will be available with a choice of a 3 or 6 cell battery. There’s no word on pricing or availability yet but the current MSI Wind U135 is available for £314.11 .

The Intel Atom N550 processor is the first dual core Atom chip built specifically for netbooks. Intel only announced the chip at Computex 2010, and it isn’t out on the retail market yet, but the folks at Notebook Italia got a chance to spend a few minutes with a pre-release Asus netbook with an Atom N550 chip. Theythey ran a simple benchmark to see how the computer stacked up against PCs with several other processors, which you can see in the graph above. In short, the Atom N550 performed very well especially at multithreading capabilities thanks to it’s 2 cores which can run as many as 4 threads simultaneously. Using the file compression app 7Zip’s built-in benchmarking utility, Notebook Italia found that the 1.5GHz Atom N550 was twice as fast as a 1.66 Intel Atom N450 processor. It was also a little faster than systems with Intel Atom 330 and D510 desktop dual core processors. So great news – let’s get those dual core netbooks on the street!

So far, the ubiquitous choice for netbook makers has been the Intel Atom chip from Intel . There have been a few standouts powered by AMD and VIA, including some machines from HP and Lenovo, but they have been far from mainstream. In Asia, however, more and more companies are making devices that use VIA processors. VIA was showing off a number of netbooks, notebooks, and tablets sporting VIA chips at Computex this week. Netbook News got a video of a few of those devices (after the break) including the latest OLPC XO Laptop with a VIA chip. Hopefully we’ll start seeing more of these inexpensive, small and light VIA powered devices here soon as well.

At the Taipei show two years ago that Intel introduced the first Atom netbooks , and now, as expected, Intel is introducing the first dual-core Atom processors faimed at nebooks . . While the details on the speeds and feeds of the new Pine Trail N series CPUs are being kept under wraps for now, we’ve been told that they’ll support DDR3 RAM and provide comparable performance to the dual-core desktop Atom processors , yet still maintain similar battery life to current netbooks. Intel still plans to keep these Atom chips in 10-inch systems, and told us that users will see the speed benefits in multitasking and browsing, rather than in HD playback and gaming. But speed isn’t the only aspect Intel has looked at. They’re also going to go on a serious diet. Intel also unveiled its new “Canoe Lake” innovation platform for netbooks, which is what’s behind that 14mm thick machine pictured above. The platform can support single- and dual-core Atom processors, but provides significant cooling to allow for 50 percent thinner systems. However, “Canoe Lake” is merely a reference guideline for other manufacturers to us.
