@ 2011/03/02Intel Corp. on Wednesday formally introduced a new dual-core Atom processor for netbooks. The chip got a clock-speed boost, but at the cost of Hyper-Threading technology that is not activated on the new chip.
Intel dual-core Atom processor N570 operates at 1.66GHz (up from 1.50GHz of the predecessor), sports integrated single-channel DDR3 controller, integrated graphics controller and has 1MB of cache. The chip does not support Hyper-Threading technology and thus can process only two threads of code at once (unlike the predecessor, which sported HT and could process four threads). The novelty has 8.5W thermal design power, which is in line with its predecessor, but higher compared to single-core Atom chips.
