Well good luck with that, Intel will soon release the next-gen Atom, and we still haven't seen a netbook packin' ION on it's innards. Speaking of Nvidia's ION, I'm really wondering if it will support the new Pineview CPU. The new Atom CPUs will have the northbridge functions integrated directly into the CPU (which includes the GMA 950 GPU). This means no standalone Pineview CPUs for Nvidia's platform, I mean, I really doubt Intel will have a different manufacturing process just to produce standalone Pineviews (which would to help Nvidia ). ]]>May 12th 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/May 12th 2009 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/
If the rumored speeds of Quad 1.6GHZ/1.73GHZ/2.0GHZ is true then you can keep it to yourself Intel
I will take your Dual core 2 Duo 3.06 Releasing this june and for much much cheaper (500$~) there Quad 2GHZ is over 1000$ Alone for companies (HP gonna sell it for over 1500$ lol)]]>May 12th 2009 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/May 12th 2009 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/May 12th 2009 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/
It looks like anything not "Centrino" branded is being dropped for Atom.. and Atom prices are rising. Atom has hardware license restrictions from Microsoft as well... to get the UMPC price you can't have certain abilities. So the bottom two rungs will be hard limited to 2GB ram and integrated graphics.

I agree, this isn't good news... Intel is "fixing" competition at the OEMs between it's own processors, much like Microsoft "fixed" the netbook market with the low price XP.]]>May 12th 2009 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/May 12th 2009 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/May 12th 2009 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/According to intel you are not supposed to get power in a small package.
What about powerfull but small laptops (like the thinkpad x200 or the 12"powerbook)?
seems like "must be able to cut cake" is the only thing a small laptop has to be able to do today :(

Now a few years out, of course they will keep that entry price. They have no reason not to. If we could, for once, control our nerd needs for even a few months after a product release that isn't what was promised... guess what would happen? When will we learn?]]>May 12th 2009 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/
Now that netbooks are a real market, Intel is scrambling to both sell into them profitably and lock out others from bombing the margins even lower. That's how they've always done it. You can't expect Intel to be the low-margin leader in any segment ever, it's not in their DNA. Intel managed to convince third world dictators that they don't really want OLPC, they want a "real" Dell/Intel/Windows netbook. So far the plan is working on American consumers also. If you really want cheap you'll have to give up your Intel addiction.

OLPC got one thing right: the only way to get a $100 laptop is to take out all the profit and all the marketing costs. If you run Linux (Android?) on a cellphone chipset that sells by the hundreds of millions, you've got volume pricing as good as it gets, 10x the volume of anything Intel makes. From there the main way to take out more cost is to make the screen and battery small. At some point what you're looking at is an iPhone or Sidekick clone with jacks for external monitor & keyboard for those who can afford them. If you want massively high-volume pricing, you're looking at buying what somebody making $10/day in India would buy, which is a phone, not a computer.]]>May 13th 2009 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/May 12th 2009 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/May 12th 2009 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.tech-no-media.com/2009/05/netbook-processor-wars-atom-x86-versus.html

ARM will have HD decoding acceleration in hardware, something Intel 's chipset is lacking. Also the N270 consume too much power for light netbooks. Intel looks somewhat stronger on the mini laptop segment ($300 to $599), but that will depend a lot on Pineview and Tiger.]]>May 12th 2009 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/
ATOM is junk without ION. Give me ION or give me nothing, because GMA945 is a joke.]]>May 12th 2009 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/ we've already established the fact that ION is useless without an atom 330 behind it.

Please put an Atom 330 in a netbook. If you Don't I will!]]>May 12th 2009 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/intel-reveals-notebook-and-netbook-plans-for-the-rest-of-the-yea/May 12th 2009 2:52PM
