Intel has announced that a dozen new netbooks based on its new mobile dual-core Intel Atom processors are now available in stores today. The netbooks – available now and through the end of the year from manufacturers including Acer, ASUS, Fujitsu, Lenovo, LG, Samsung, MSI, and Toshiba – enable new levels of support for applications like games, as well as Adobe Flash technology for access to a number of Web pages including online hotel booking systems and multimedia sites such as YouTube and Hulu.
The new dual-core Atom processor will help netbook users achieve “even more”, according to David Lee, associate vice president of Acer's Mobile Computing Business Unit. He said it would improve on the customers' total mobile experience, “whether it is increased responsiveness or extended Internet interactivity through longer battery life." Since 2008, Intel has shipped over 70 million Atom netbook chips. With the dual-core Intel Atom processor N550, consumers can access the Internet on the go with a more responsive experience in the same compact form factor, DDR3 memory support and similar great battery life as the single-core Intel Atom processor N450, Intel said. |
