Intel announced yesterday the 4th quarter release of the new Intel Atom 330 Dual Core processors running at 1.6GHz & 1.87GHz, an upgrade to the earlier single-core Atom 230.
Intel reps from Singapore today confirmed during the Netbook Benchmarking Workshop that the upcoming dual core Atom processors will be used for the Nettop line of PCs. The Nettop is Intel's answer to low-cost PCs with much smaller form factor.
上个月，英特尔与信息通信技术部共同推出了“Nettop ng Bayan”，但这款迷你电脑仅配备了赛扬处理器。
根据公布的价格，新款 Atom 330 的售价约为 43 美元，最早将在 9 月 21 日上市。旧款 Atom 230 的售价为每件 29 美元。（价格基于每 1,000 台的计价。）
在今天于香格里拉马卡蒂举办的研讨会上，来自新加坡和菲律宾的英特尔代表解释了如何正确地对上网本进行基准测试。英特尔展示了三（3）款型号——Acer Aspire One、MSI Wind U100 和 Asus Eee PC 901。这些上网本均装配了 Atom N270 版（1.6GHz，512K L2，533MHz FSB）。
Intel's naming convention for Netbooks include all portables within the 7 to 10" and costing Php20k to Php25k. Ramaprasad Srinivasan of Intel Singapore adds that generally, the Atom had general average performance increase of about 30% over the previous Celerom M models used in older Asus Eee PC units.
Nettops sounds like a bad name. Netopia?
