Intel reveals June launch date for first Atom processor

We've already heard about some of Intel's future Atom plans, and heard just how little it'll apparently cost the company to produce 'em, but now thanks to a PDF kindly let loose by the chipmaker, we finally have some official word as to when we can actually expect to see 'em. As UMPC Portal reports, the PDF released in conjunction with the currently-happening Intel Developer Forums indicates that the processor will get a worldwide launch this June, which is a tad later than some had expected. In related news, the PDF also mentions two Celeron processors intended for use with the same Diamondville platform that Atom uses, including the Celeron 220 and Celeron 440 (both Intel Core processors), though we somehow suspect those won't generate quite the level of interest as the bargain basement Atom.

[Thanks, Steve]

How fast will these be compared to the core 2 duos?

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 1st 2008 4:30PM]

I'm assuming the pink background is somehow for April fools day?

[Mark.Nine @ Apr 1st 2008 4:31PM]

Where have you been?

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 1st 2008 4:35PM]

:\ trick question?

[Neebs @ Apr 1st 2008 4:46PM]

Scroll down some.

[Sharakar @ Apr 1st 2008 4:54PM]

long story in short, T-mobile lawsuited engadget mobile cause it has the same pink magenta in the mobile part. so engadget changes the last t from engadget into magenta for the engadget mobile title so it looks just like t-mobile and also changes the background into magenta so t-mobile can shove it up its @$$

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 1st 2008 4:51PM]

I wish someone would just tell me :(

I CANT FIND ANYTHING

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 1st 2008 4:52PM]

oh

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 1st 2008 4:56PM]

ahh why dont i just make a few more comments since I already made an idiot of myself

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 1st 2008 4:59PM]

heres some more for replies... everyone tell me how the weather is around the world..

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 1st 2008 5:00PM]

Its really pathetic how embarrassed I am about this, and how i'm only making it worse..

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 1st 2008 5:00PM]

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 1st 2008 5:01PM]

well it WAS for april fools day

[Mark.Nine @ Apr 1st 2008 6:25PM]

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

VIA Isaiah. Discuss.

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 1st 2008 4:57PM]

rank this comment UP PLEASE

[Mark.Nine @ Apr 1st 2008 5:01PM]

How about I rank all of your comments down?

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 1st 2008 5:04PM]

do your worst

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 1st 2008 5:05PM]

just do the one down 1 on a few different computers, y'know, so you're sure it gets through

[nerdtalker @ Apr 1st 2008 9:52PM]

I think Chris Macdonald just set an epic record for worst comment vote-record ever. Even better, he did it all in one story.

That beats user "phanbouy" which is saying something awful.

[phanbouy @ Apr 1st 2008 10:46PM]

hey nerdshitter, wow! the giant hypocrite himself is back to cry everyone a river about how _i'm_ trolling. looks like you're carrying a 2 month old grudge there after i called you out on it the first time. you never did refute my point then, only instead writing a character assassination worthy of the bush administration's best.

[phanbouy @ Apr 1st 2008 10:56PM]

p.s. nerdsley, your unnecessary attack is also factually wrong as i've had very few low ranked comments and tons of high ones. not that i'd have any reason to point out something so silly and trivial as that, but when you spread FUD (as I recall in one of your earlier nonsequitir attacks on me since you decided to make me your obsessive cause celebre), i'll call ya out out in. now leave me alone, freak.

[nerdtalker @ Apr 1st 2008 11:22PM]

Phanbouy, I'd take the time to refute your FUD point-by-point in response, but in all honesty your posts are so incomprehensible I wouldn't even know where to start. It literally is random drivel start to end. Amazing.

Perhaps you think your obscenity-laced nonsense somehow matches the subtle tone of sarcasm carried in most engadget stories, perhaps you think you're God's gift to all other engadget readers. Nerdshitter, very clever, you certainly have a wit to match that of any awarded novelist with diction like that. Whatever the case, stop making everything about yourself for once, jesus christ, grow the hell up.

Why don't you go back to pleasuring your self-inflated e-peen? More highly ranked posts than lower ranked, what laughable nonsense. Just for that, I think I'll go through your post history and set the record straight since I'm supposedly your "cause célèbre." You flatter yourself just thinking anyone really cares enough to even make calling out your room-temperature IQ'ed worth the effort. I'd sooner go have an intellectual debate with a third grader than carry on a dialog with yourself. At least one wouldn't drop buzzwords like "bush administration" arbitrarily like you read it in a book or saw it on some second-rate prime time TV news debate. pfft.

Flame all you want.

[nerdtalker @ Apr 1st 2008 11:26PM]

p.s. phanbouy, get a sense of humor and stop taking everything so god damned personally. Offended easily much? O_o?

[phanbouy @ Apr 2nd 2008 12:01AM]

nerdman, take your thesaurus-dependent "humor" and cram it up your sphincter along with your head. your twisting of my words doesn't change the fact that you're dead wrong now just as you had no ground to stand on earlier. keep on demonstrating your hypocrisy, fool. my choice of unpleasant words and your opinion of them or their creativity doesn't change the fact that you're a crybaby douchebag of a hypocrite who's intent on my "lightening up" at your continued baseless bullshit attacks on me. understand yet? good. now i believe i told you to fuck off.

[rossinio @ Apr 2nd 2008 4:52AM]

Nerd Fight!

[nerdtalker @ Apr 2nd 2008 1:26PM]

Lmao phanfuck, eat a dick. Facts to refute? You don't even bothering arguing about _anything_, you just love having these arbitrary pissing matches with everyone and pretending you're somehow original at it.

I guess every board needs a fucking forum troll, and engadget's got you. Go fap to your brilliance.

BTW I love how you failed trying to reply @ me a few posts down below this. Just give up.

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 2nd 2008 4:29PM]

WOW am I a legend now like phanbouy?

Usually my comments due quite well but yesterday I was all hyped up on April fools day...

[phanbouy @ Apr 3rd 2008 2:24PM]

"I guess every board needs a fucking forum troll"

ya just can't see your hypocrisy, can ya? lol. yes, i'm the troll for defending myself against your unfunny toxic sludge nonsense. go die in a hole, freak

[phanbouy @ Apr 3rd 2008 2:53PM]

btw, fucking internet coward nerdpuss, it's obvious to me that you're a fucking nitwit pansy of a jerkoff who wouldn't dare say any of what you did to anyone in real life lest you get strung up by your scrotum from the nearest tree. i used to think sinai was the site asshole, but you're quickly proving to be the all time piece of human effluence on this site; ironically by trying to arbitrarily find some victim to help you feel less sorry for your pitiful self. fucking stalker shithead.

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 3rd 2008 3:34PM]

are you talking to me? like i can understand being a little pissed off..

[TedB @ Apr 1st 2008 4:59PM]

I guess I will be the first fanboy to say this....

(starts hopeful thinking)
June? Oh really? Just like all of the projections for the next generation iPhone?
(/ends hopeful thinking)

[sayid @ Apr 1st 2008 5:05PM]

Take your fanboyism and shove it up your ass.

[chris at trade2save @ Apr 1st 2008 5:07PM]

When I first heard the name I thought atom referred to atom technology like a molecular computer - so a bit of a let down.

[Sharakar @ Apr 1st 2008 5:23PM]

If u guys can seriously think of a better name than atom please reply

[phanbouy @ Apr 1st 2008 5:37PM]

it's a better name than your spam name, Jim/Chris

[chris at trade2save @ Apr 1st 2008 6:05PM]

How about... Intel Hybrid

[chris at trade2save @ Apr 1st 2008 6:06PM]

Phanbouy - it's not spam it's a blog advocating green electronics to cut e-waste, a very serious issue - does this really warrant any more of your e-abuse. The team at trade2save apologize if we have in any way offended you. We would be very interested to hear your views the issue of e-waste that we're trying to raise. You may find the article on us at Gadgetell useful.

[phanbouy @ Apr 1st 2008 6:19PM]

chris/Jim: hypocrisy much?

"Apr 1st 2008 4:05PM definitely a loser phanbouy"

this made with your fake name Jim tied to your same account. way to spin your PR though.

[phanbouy @ Apr 1st 2008 6:33PM]

btw, you must be new here Jim/Chris. posting an unrelated URL underneath a comment (especially some short generic comment like yours was which was along the lines of "looks interesting") is widely considered spam around here, regardless of your perceived social value of said site. if my pointing this out makes me a "loser" as you called me with your fake name as an attempt to imitate a mob discrediting me, then well irony is dead.

you need a less sneaky and, yes, abusive, way of being the world's savior, Jim/chris.

[chris at trade2save @ Apr 1st 2008 7:05PM]

Phanbouy - the loser comment was a reaction to your abusive comment about our green website 'definitely a crap site'. How about we just make up and blog in peace? We're all winners mate! I'll take your point though.

[phanbouy @ Apr 2nd 2008 12:23AM]

p.s. i _do_ get a good laugh, however, when would-be bullies who are acting out on their high school trauma preemptively play the victim card when they're called out on their bullshit. now THAT's funny

[phanbouy @ Apr 2nd 2008 12:24AM]

oops that's directed to nerdtalker

[chris (trade2save) @ Apr 2nd 2008 11:30AM]

phanbouy, there are clearly issues here which have nothing to do with me. Try and let it go.

[Terpy @ Apr 1st 2008 6:12PM]

"Up and ATOM"

[ethana2 @ Apr 1st 2008 6:48PM]

Ok, now I'm aware some of my opinions are unpopular with victims of apple and microsoft marketing, but relative to this here explosion of Chris Macdonald, I think we can all agree I add more to a good conversation than I detract from it.

/anyway/, I really look forward to seeing where 45 and 32nm process sizes get us in terms of mobile speed. I still want to see an affordable laptop with 24 hour battery life.

[Chris Macdonald @ Apr 1st 2008 7:05PM]

OWNNNNEEEEDDD!!!

[Mark.Nine @ Apr 1st 2008 7:44PM]

More like: FAIL.

[Tired_ @ Apr 1st 2008 9:05PM]

Ok. Atom's coming Real Soon Now(tm). We got that. Now, benchmarks? The next step would be to tell us why we want one.
