Intel Launches 2GHz Atom Processor

Our Comments

Intel should move to 32nm process fairly quickly and will release Pineview, the next generation of Atom CPU, probably by this time next year. Expect Intel to add another core and a speed bump to 2.4GHz to it to bring it at least to the power level of a Pentium 4 2.8GHz, which is very impressive given the power consumption credentials of the platform.
