Info on Intel Atom Pine View
Hello,
I saw some info that new Pine View processors are coming out. I don't know much about Atom processors at this point although one of my clients bought a Vaio X and it is super light and super slim and pretty dang slow unfortunately. The unit came with a 2GHz Atom processor. Anyone know if 64 bit or 2.x processors are coming any time soon? From what I read the Pine View processors coming out are only 1.6 and 1.8Ghz. I didn't see anything about their bits so I'm guessing the new ones are still 32 bit. |

Please read the Atom specs on the Intel site. |

Thanks - I didn't know that. Hopefully they'll consider boosting the speed
a bit. While I do love the idea of a super slim, super light laptop, the processor maxes out just copying files on the network.

Yes 64 bit - thanks. Unfortunately no news about any fast Atom
processors. I understand the goal of cutting power but if your computer is barely faster than when it isn't powered on, saving power doesn't do much good.

Yeah, that's not surprising, the processor is really an updated modern day 80386 processor, by its design philosophy. It has no superscalar instructions, in order to save the maximum number of Watts. It's updated by the fact that it is sometimes 64-bit, runs at higher frequencies, uses newer memory types, etc. If you want modern day performance, you can do a whole lot better by going with a mobile Pentium dual-core or Athlon dual-core. Don't expect the next-generation Atom to blow you away either. Yousuf Khan |

"Updated 386" doesn't seem either helpful or accurate. http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=3276&p=7 Robert. |
