Intel has had a busy 2011, from dealing with a faulty chipset to releasing new products. Now the company is releasing an updated edition of the Atom line chipset used in netbooks. The dual-core chip will still work best for light use, according to Intel.
The new Atom N570 features a single-channel DDR3 controller, 1MB cache, and an integrated graphics controller. Intel upgraded the speed from the last Atom chipset, but you can still expect the system to run slower that most full sized laptops.
ASUS, Samsung, and Lenovo will start shipping out systems based upon this chip in the middle of this month. Intel did not reveal how much the chipset will cost. It appears to be out now for those who wish to upgrade.
