Like AMD, and Intel delayed production of its new mobile platform, Intel Pinetrail and AMD Congo. The source reports that the new processor Intel Atom N450, the underlying platform Pinetrail, will be ready for release 3rd January 2010. N450 processor clocked at 1.66GHz, only 60MGts faster than its predecessor, the popular N270, although, according to the manufacturer, the new items will be more wide tire. According to rumors, the characteristics of new items will be similar to those of N280. N450 price will be about $ 20 above the price of the predecessor, but users will get some advantages, in particular, the two major chip platform (including the old graphics engine used in the G31) and the CPU chip is part of N450. Also expected to become a faster version, N470 with frequency 1.83GGts.

Originally intended to release N400 processor and platform Pinetrail in October. According to rumors, the new chips will be manufactured on the same 45nm process technology, which releases the Series N200. Clearly, Intel is investing in the development of new processors for netbooks very little money.

In the front line with AMD, there are more proactive. In late October or early November, the manufacturer plans to provide a platform Congo. Around the same time expected to release a platform AMD Tigris, which is designed for standard laptops. Platform Congo based on the M780 chipset, and includes both single-core and dual-core mobile processors. Congo platform looks promising, as it has at least two advantages in comparison with the platform Intel: Dual-Core processor and improved integrated graphics (rumored to schedule this platform will be based on a series Mobility Radeon HD 3200). But at the same time, most likely, mobile devices on AMD platform will consume more power, reducing battery life. Despite this, compared to current single-core Athlon Neo new platform will offer significantly improved performance. One would expect that dual-core processors Congo, which will be issued either under the name Turion Neo X2, or as the Athlon Neo X2, will continue to improve the performance of platforms AMD, ahead of the Intel Atom, which is unlikely to receive significant benefits from the N450. If solutions based on AMD will be quite competitive in price, you can expect more netbooks processors AMD Neo.
