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?
I'm assuming the pink background is somehow for April fools day?
Where have you been?
:\ trick question?
Scroll down some.
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 @$$
I wish someone would just tell me :(
I CANT FIND ANYTHING
oh
ahh why dont i just make a few more comments since I already made an idiot of myself
heres some more for replies... everyone tell me how the weather is around the world..
Its really pathetic how embarrassed I am about this, and how i'm only making it worse..
can any of you forgive me?
Nova Scotia, +3, Rainy
well it WAS for april fools day
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
VIA Isaiah. Discuss.
rank this comment UP PLEASE
How about I rank all of your comments down?
do your worst
just do the one down 1 on a few different computers, y'know, so you're sure it gets through
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.
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.
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.
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.
p.s. phanbouy, get a sense of humor and stop taking everything so god damned personally. Offended easily much? O_o?
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.
Nerd Fight!
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.
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...
"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
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.
are you talking to me? like i can understand being a little pissed off..
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)
Take your fanboyism and shove it up your ass.
When I first heard the name I thought atom referred to atom technology like a molecular computer - so a bit of a let down.
If u guys can seriously think of a better name than atom please reply
it's a better name than your spam name, Jim/Chris
How about... Intel Hybrid
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.

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.
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.
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.
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
oops that's directed to nerdtalker
phanbouy, there are clearly issues here which have nothing to do with me. Try and let it go.
"Up and ATOM"
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.
OWNNNNEEEEDDD!!!
More like: FAIL.
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.
