Code-named Diamondville, Intel's 45-nanometer chip won't be officially released until June, but reports are indicating that the company is filling less than 40 percent of requests for the new chip; howev... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/01/intel.ramps.atom.chips/ Fri, 02 May 2008 01:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/18/intel.netbook.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/intelnetbook-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A secret in spite of the sibling NetTop platform's unveiling, photos and specifications have allegedly leaked for Intel's forthcoming NetBook. An employee with a US OEM claims to have obtained a sample system, intended for educational purposes; the computer runs Windows XP Pro, and operates on a 900MHz Celeron processor with 512MB of RAM, a 40GB hard drive and an Ethernet connection. The screen ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/18/intel.netbook.leak/ Tue, 18 Mar 2008 20:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/12/intel.exposes.nettop.pcs/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/intelnettop.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Through a presentation to a group of business clients, Intel has revealed a new computer design, called the NetTop. The system is designed to minimize the cost of a desktop as much as possible, jettisoning all unnecessary expenses; this carries down to normally standard hardware aspects, such as the inclusion of system fans, or even a CPU socket. Linux may be an option on some NetTops, instead o... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/12/intel.exposes.nettop.pcs/ Wed, 12 Mar 2008 20:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/03/asus.eee.pc.900/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/asuseeepc900.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />ASUS' rumored 8.9-inch version of the Eee PC has been formally unveiled, say reports from this week's CeBIT expo in Germany. While there is no evidence of WiMAX support, the notebook should be enhanced in a number of other respects, such as a larger trackpad and support for resolutions up to 1024x600. Despite theoretically consuming more power, the new Eee's battery life is said to range between... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/03/asus.eee.pc.900/ Mon, 03 Mar 2008 18:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/02/intel.atom/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/intelatom.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel tonight kicked off Germany's CeBIT expo with the unveiling of Atom, a new processor line specifically tailored towards ultra-mobile PCs, mobile Internet devices (MIDs), and other handhelds. Previously nicknamed either Silverthorne or Diamondville, the processor series is built on the same 45 nanometer manufacturing process as newer Core 2 chips and shares the same instruction set, but is fa... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/02/intel.atom/ Mon, 03 Mar 2008 03:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/28/intel.diamondville.specs/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/intelshelton.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Presenting at Mobility Summit 2008, Intel has revealed fresh details on its upcoming Diamondville CPUs, intended for low-cost notebooks and compact desktops. The design is only single-core, but supports technologies such as hyperthreading, and is being built with a 45nm process like Intel's more powerful Penryn chips. This helps the processor achieve an incredibly low thermal design power rating... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/28/intel.diamondville.specs/ Thu, 28 Feb 2008 18:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/13/acer.eee.pc.rival.likely/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/acergemstone.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Acer is expanding its line to include budget ultraportable computers, Acer president J.T. Wang said today. The company chief refrained from providing details but stated that multiple devices would be released to tackle both price and size throughout the spring and summer of this year. However, previous leaks have pointed to likely direct challengers to ASUS' popular Eee PC line. Both 8- and 9-i... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/13/acer.eee.pc.rival.likely/ Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/01/14/intel.shelton.platform/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0710/intelcore2duomobile.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel has begun distributing the details of Shelton, a set of low-cost notebook specifications, market sources claim. At Shelton's heart is a Diamondville CPU, built with a single 1.6GHz core, and a 533MHz front-side bus. The chip consumes a mere 3.5W of power, contributing to a total power consumption of just 8W. This should give Shelton systems between three and four hours of battery life. T... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/01/14/intel.shelton.platform/ Mon, 14 Jan 2008 21:05:00 GMT
