Intel has announced the release of its second dual-core Atom chip for netbooks. The Atom N570 is a slight variation of the N550 dual core chip offering higher clock speeds without any major change in power consumption. Specifically, the dual-core processor runs at 1.66GHz instead of 1.5GHz and includes 1MB of L2 cache while drawing just 8.5 watts of power.
Netbook News: Netbooks are getting more and more powerful every year. Last year, we saw netbook manufactures churning out netbooks with Atom N550 processors and this year, some of the them have started selling Atom N570 powered netbooks. HP is now offering Mini 110 and 210 with the dual-core Atom N570 processor.
