I've read that this'll double the 230's 4W envelope, as would be expected with two cores. What is more interesting, however, is if it comes with the same Intel strictures for limiting its implementations, e.g. only for nettop use and not netbook (mobile), no digital out, etc.]]>Sep 8th 2008 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/
Single core performance isn't great, but the OS scheduler will split background processes for different cores, so that extra core will go to good use, and you should see better software speed.]]>Sep 8th 2008 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/Sep 8th 2008 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/Sep 8th 2008 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/Sep 8th 2008 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/
Anyway, if the dual core comes out, i'll just pawn this one off as an xmas gift for someone and get the new one. :P]]>Sep 8th 2008 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/Sep 8th 2008 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/Sep 8th 2008 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/
I could be wrong though, maybe these guys will be out by xmas. ]]>Sep 8th 2008 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/
Even equipped with a 2-core Atom, netbooks should not go beyond this threshold.

Otherwise, why would netbooks even come into being?]]>Sep 8th 2008 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/

Yeah, your parents' old dog has four legs.

Apple does everything first. I heard that Apple invented the Atom.

Apple just works....

is the next logical step quad-core?]]>Sep 8th 2008 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/Sep 8th 2008 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/dual-core-atom-ready-for-showtime-tranquil-pc-thinks-so/I hope you can switch off a core.

but what you can do is buy it and upgrade your eee pc because its motherboard is still compatible with the dual core processor.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 4:24PM
