INTEL'S N470 PINE TRAIL CPU CLOCKS 1.83GHz

Intel has unveiled two Atom processors based on its Pine Trail platform - the N450 and the N470.

The N450 is relatively slower with a clock speed of 1.66GHz. The recently unveiled N470 is much faster at 1.83GHz clock speed. This processor is expected to be used in select netbooks in the first quarter of next year.

Like N450, the N470 is a single core processor supporting hyper-threading. This Pine Trail chipset comes with a TDP of 6.5 W which is much better than the TDP of N270 Atom processors common in netbooks. Another plus point of the Pine Trail Atom processors is that they include an integrated IGP on the same silicon. More details are expected to be revealed at Intel’s Developer Forum (IDF) scheduled to be held from September 22 to 24.
