It looks like we'll be seing Intel's new dual-core Atom 330 on the market sooner rather than later. The chip will launch in September accompanied by a refreshed D945GCLF2 motherboard, and is targeted at entry-level computer users, users in emerging markets, PC enthusiasts who want a basic home PC, and customized point-of-sale terminals.

Atom 330 is expected to be a 1.6GHz part with HyperThreading support on each processor, for a total of four virtual cores, as far as the OS is concerned. Total on-die L2 cache is 1MB (512K per processor), and the chip runs on the same 533MHz bus as the N/270. As far as projected performance, Atom 330 should be significantly faster than the 230 in any application that's capable of taking advantage of the chip's multiple cores. The desktop iteration of the platform could definitely use the boost; the single-core Atom 230 lagged well behind the VIA Nano when we benchmarked the two against each other.

So maybe this is what they are talking about??? I didn't know about it either til i did some research...]]>Sep 15th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/Sep 15th 2008 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/Sep 15th 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/Sep 15th 2008 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/Sep 15th 2008 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/Sep 15th 2008 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/

this is just the More or Procase Noah enclosure and they will combine it with any mini-itx mainboard that sports the dualcore atom.
So this is more a system assembler than a manufacturer ;)]]>Sep 15th 2008 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/Sep 15th 2008 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/Sep 15th 2008 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/Sep 15th 2008 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/abaco-announces-the-production-of-europes-first-atom-dual-cor/It's just a Noah case, http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11124
