01/05/2012, MSI has recently announced the launch of a new netbook running on Intel’s Atom N2800 Cedar Trail processor. Clocked at 1.86GHz, this dual-core processor is slightly faster than Intel’s previous generation dual-core Atom chips. The netbook also features a 10.1″ (1024 x 600) display, Intel GMA 3640 onboard graphics, 1080p video support, and a touted improved power consumption compared to older netbooks. It also packs up to 2GB of RAM, […]

12/09/2011, Some time earlier this year, we reported that Fujitsu’s tablet PC, the Stylistic Q550 was ready to start shipping. Given how the focus on tablets has taken a rather dramatic turn towards iOS and Android, we have to wonder how many users are left who actually prefer Windows 7 as their operating system of choice for a tablet. Either way Fujitsu has not forgotten about you guys and has updated […]

11/18/2011, Looking to get yourself or someone you know a netbook for Christmas? If you are, it looks as though ASUS’s Eee PC 1025C and 1025CE netbooks could be released in time for the holidays, or that’s the impression that we’re getting from the photo above which shows the netbooks wrapped up in present boxes.

09/12/2011, Intel might have temporarily stopped all development on their MeeGo platform, but that does not mean they are no longer interested in the mobile marketplace. No sir, in fact, the smartphone market might just heat up in the future if Intel has their way with their E6XX range of Atom processors which are said to be able to support Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Yes sir, does this mean we will be […]

05/16/2011, Fujitsu recently showed off a very interesting smartphone called the Loox F-07C: a dual-mode phone that runs on an Intel ATOM processor. For people who require the functionality of a very tiny Windows 7 tablet and a smartphone but don’t want to lug two devices around, the F-07C might what they’ve been looking for. The F-07C can be booted as a tablet running Windows 7 or as a smartphone running […]

05/11/2011, One thing you might notice about Google’s new Chrome OS notebooks (or Chromebooks) is that they run on Intel Atom processors. Google’s choice to use Intel’s processors instead of ARM-based processors is one of the key differences between Chrome OS and Android. While it is unclear what the future for both operating systems is – will we have Chrome phones or Android laptops in the future? Who knows? But what […]

01/28/2011, According to some reports, Microsoft is pushing Intel into developing 16-core Atom chips for their server farms. Microsoft’s data servers are currently powered by Intel Xeon server-class chips. While the Xeon processors are fast enough to power their servers, they consume a lot of power and generate a lot of heat  and these problems are a real headache when you have tens of thousands of servers. A 16-core Atom chip […]

01/20/2011, The netbook market has suffered quite a blow when the Apple iPad joined the portable digital device revolution, but it isn’t quite dead just yet despite strong showings by the growing tablet niche. Reports have pointed to over 30 million shipments for this year, and there is mention of a release date for the upcoming Atom N570 processor – where we do know that it has been confirmed to be […]

01/07/2011, [CES 2011] OpenPeak and Intel were showing a 7” Tablet that uses Moorestown, the next-generation uber-low power Intel Atom processor (CPU). This is relative to Intel’s previous generation of Atom CPUs, of course. The Tablet has a fun design, and did attract its share of curious users on the show floor. It runs on Android 2.2 at the moment, but this could change from now to the official launch, which […]

12/08/2010, Intel chief Paul Otellini recently made known that smartphones which will be powered by their own Atom processors will not debut until next year. Before you jump on your seat and say, “Hey, isn’t 2011 just three weeks away?”, bear in mind that the timeframe given is the second half of next year, so everyone else might just have to wait until one more year in a worse case scenario. […]

08/26/2010, The dual core Intel Atom processors were recently introduced, and manufacturers from China are already having a field day bringing new notebook models to the market – although it remains to be seen whether such devices will arrive Stateside or not. We’re talking about the TimesPad which can be powered by either a single core Atom N455 or N475 CPU or a dual core Atom N550 processor, complete with NVIDIA […]

08/23/2010, Intel has rolled out its first dual core Atom processor developed specifically for a netbook (the Atom D330 was a desktop/nettop variant used in netbooks) after making a mark over the years with its single core chips. Well, the day has arrived where the 1.5GHz N550 processor is finally available to face the general public, featuring a similar number of physical cores as the Core i3s, the Core i5s, and […]

06/22/2010, Intel has started to ship its Atom D425 and D525 processors, where the former is a single core processor while the latter sports a dual core setup. Unlike the D410 and D510 models, these will come with an integrated DDR3 memory controller which means you can include DDR3 RAM which will be speedier compared to the DDR2 standard that netbook owners have gotten so used to all this while. Thanks […]

06/14/2010, SeaMicro’s latest server architecture breaks new ground as it can now hold a whopping 512 Intel Atom processors in a 10U rack mount space, where it is hoped that this move will reduce data center power and space requirements by up to a whopping 75%. Known as the new SM10000 server, it merges the aforementioned 512 Intel Atom processors, Gbit and 10-Gbit Ethernet, alongside software for management and load-balancing into […]
