The company decided to use the Intel Southbridge Tigerpoint NM10 in the upcoming 32nm platform, with Cedarview processor Atom, which will appear in 2011. Southbridge Tigerpoint NM10 will be formally presented in early 2010, probably in January, when Intel partners will provide system-based dual-core processor or single-core D510 Processor D410. Southbridge NM10 is a slightly modified version of the ICH7 chipset and not so remarkable, as we would like, but it can support DMI and provides support for two drives SATA, 8 USB 2.0 interfaces and 4x PCIe slots. HD Audio Codec also must be maintained, but that's about the support RJ-45 LAN there is no such certainty. The new 32nm Atom, which will be released in 2011, will be the code name for Cedarview and will be working with this venerable south bridge, and it should last at least until 2013, when will the next new processor Atom.

Atom platform in 2010 will consume up to 15W from 12W. Producer intends to reduce power consumption platform Cedarview-D to at least 10W, and, perhaps, to a lower value. Under the power platform refers to the total power consumption processor with integrated graphics controller and memory controller, as well as the south bridge Tigerpoint NM10. In 2011, Intel hopes to significantly reduce the TDP Platform Atom, approximately 40% compared with the platform Pineview-D, 2010. This will greatly facilitate the cooling and will reduce power consumption and cost of the netbook and nettop on the new platform.

Platform Pineview-D, which will be presented in the first quarter of 2010, has yet to be assessed. A system on a platform of Cedarview-D will hit the market a year later, but be that as it may, the future looks rosy, and the new system on the Atom, seems to be better optimized in terms of power saving and battery life.
