Intel officially launched the N470 today, but in a spec sheet for the new Asus Eee PC 1018p there’s already mention of two newer processors – the N455 and N475. Looks like they keep the same speeds as the N450 and N470 (1.66ghz and 1.83ghz respectively) but add DDR3 ram support. The Asus Eee PC 1018P on other hand has a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display and comes with either a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 of 1.83GHz Atom N475 processor. You also get 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, and support for USB 3.0. There’s also an integrated 3G modem (this may just be an option), 1GB of RAM, and a 160Gb or 250GB hard drive as well as a 44Whr battery. The Eee PC 1018P has a brushed aluminum chassis that measures just 0.71″ thick. Check out a photo of the new Asus Eee PC 1018p from CeBit after the break. via Notebook Italia .

I have a Gateway LT2030U netbook that I bought from Best Buy. I upgraded the RAM to 2gb which has definitely helped the speed, but I am thinking of making it better still. Is is possible to upgrade the processor to something better than the stock Intel Atom N270? If so, what would be the fastest processor for a netbook, and would it be easy to install? Thanks!

Thinking of buying Samsung Go N310-13GMB Netbook-Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB DDR2,160GB HDD.
I want to upgrade the ram. I am unsure about processor speed and type.
I wasn’t sure if there is a specific type of ram for netbooks.
I just wanted to make certain I purchase the right kind for the job.
Thanks for the help!

I am looking at the Asus Eee PC Netbook with intel atom processor. Would you recommend this computer? Is it really portable and most importantly does it run fast or does it crash and freeze a lot. Do you need to set it up with something to get internet or can you just turn it up and work. Also what would you recommend a HP Mini 110, or this Asus Eee?

Intel has released the official technical specifications for their new Pinetrail mobile processors – the netbook N450 and nettop D410 and D510 desktop processors. No surprises, but good to see the info from Intel directly. The Atom N450 is now a 64-bit chip (unlike the current N270/N280), which means you can run the 64-bit version of Windows 7 . The nettop processors were, and are still 64 bit capable. Chip package size is the same as the current lineup, despite adding memory capability and an integrated grahpics core.. The integrated GMA 3150 graphics core does not support hardware video acceleration (mpeg2 decoder) nor digital out (no hdmi ports) via Netbooked

Nvidia Ion on a PCIe card? The current generation of netbooks is mostly based on Intel’s Atom N270 or N280 processors. For graphics, they are split into two groups, those utilizing Intel’s GMA 950 integrated graphics, and those that replace the Intel graphics chip with the more capable Nvidia Ion platform. However, Intel’s next generation Pine Trail chips will have the processor and graphics capabilities bundled into one chip. That would seem to make it much more difficult for netbook manufacturers to include Nvidia Ion with the new Intel PineTrail chips. Blogeee.net reports that Nvidia’s solution may be to offer the next generation Ion 2 chips in the form of a PCI express card upgrade. That would mean that one could upgrade the graphics in a netbook simply by slotting a card into an open slot. It also opens up the possibility for switchable grahics – ie. using the built-in Intel Graphics for day to day use, then switching to the Nvidia Ion 2 chip for gaming or video use. Wrapping up the rumour mill, there are also reports that Nvidia in planning to make the Ion 2 chip compatible with non-Intel chips – opening up the way for Ion powered ARM processored netbooks.

Intel is set to launch its new Pine Trail Atom platform in January and we’ve alraedy heard that the upcoming Intel N450 will clock in at 1.66ghz and the N470 at 1.83ghz . Also, this new breed of Pineview chips, based on the Pinetrail platform, will be smaller, more energy efficient, and will integrate the CPU, graphics, and memory controllers onto a single chip. Now, we learn via Fudzilla , that Intel will be adding support for DDR3 memory to the Pinetrail platform later in 2010. It’s rumoured that the N450 and N470 netbook processors will debut earlier, possibly in January or February of 2010, but with DDR2 memory initially. The new desktop processors aren’t left out either and the single core Intel Atom D410 and dual core Atom D510 will launch in early 2010 with DDR2 memory, and move to DDR3 like their netbook counterparts. For instance, there’s the upcoming Intel Atom N470, which Fudzilla says should launch in the first quarter of 2010 , possibly in February. While the Atom N450 clocks in at 1.66GHz, the N470 processor will reportedly have a faster clock speed of about 1.83GHz, and a price tag that’s about $20 higher. Fudzilla also reports that Intel will be adding support for DDR3 memory to its Pine Trail processors later in 2010. Pine Trail chips integrate the CPU, graphics, and memory controllers onto a single chip, which means that you’ll get a new model number when DDR3 support is added. So the single core Intel Atom N450 and N470 processors launched early in 2010 will be updated to N45x and N47x models capable of using faster memory. Intel is also reportedly adding DDR3 support to its desktop Atom processors , including the single core Intel Atom D410 and dual core Atom D510. At launch, these chips will support DDR2 memory, like their netbook counterparts.

CedarView coming in 2011 More Intel Cedarview news today from Fudzilla . If you’ll remember, it’s the replacement for the current Atom processor in netbooks, not due to launch in 2011. As before, it will be a processor based on a 32nm manufacturing process, be HD ready and will last until 2013. News today is that it will feature an integrated Tigerpoint NM10 southbridge as the upcoming Atom Pineview processor and the desktop version (Cedarview-D) will have a TDP of less than 10W . TDP, or Thermal Design Power, is a measurement to tell how much heat a cooling system must be able to handle, and ergo, how much power a chip will consume at full tilt. The upcoming Pineview-D will have a TDP between 12W – 15W, so it’s good to see that Intel continues to focus on saving power and therefore longer battery life. The dual-core version will be at the upper end of 15W.
