For the production of new Intel Atom processor uses a core company, developed more than two years ago. New Atom chipset is on its way from the old and weak G945GC to "better" generation G31. Inside the new single-core Atom D510 and D410 use graphics GMA 3150, which promises to be slightly faster version of the GMA 3100, based on the G31.
Frankly speaking, integrated graphics Atom continues to be below average and not allow users to play on it in any decent game, but the fact that users will be able to use processors D410 and D510 chipset Ion from nVidia, of course, adds shine and significance of the decisions of Atom. However, Intel will oppose the release of netbooks (and notebooks?) Based on the Ion, as on the background graphics nVidia Ion integrated graphics Atom does not cause positive emotions. Processors Atom, as before, will be cheaper, or "available" as is fond of saying Intel, but Intel graphics in the near future will not improve markedly. Atom is able to provide entry-level graphics in 2007, which in 2010 looks like, say, not very nice.
Intel Company tried to hide the power of their closest processor Atom, but every secret ever becomes obvious. Power consumption dual-core Atom 510 is 13Vt. This is a huge number compared to the 8W, consumed the old dual-core Atom 330, but keep in mind that the new Atom 510 integrated graphics core and the Northbridge, and additional 5W more than four times less than the required chipset Intel 945GC. Manufacturer reports that Intel 82945GSE consumes 6W, and for the south bridge ICH7 need more 3.3Vt. If we assume that the southbridge NM10, relating to the platform, Pineview, too, requires 3-4W, the total power consumption of the dual-core processor Atom 510 and corresponding chipset will be around 16-17W, that is practically the same as a modern platform uses Atom.
