Intel Pine Trail launch delayed
Remember the Pine Trail processor that we mentioned last month? Well, the Pine Trail processor line was supposed to be launched at the later part of this year (October), but according to Digitimes, Intel has deliberately delayed the launch of Pine Trail processors to the early next year, which means that you won’t see netbooks using the pine view processors until the second quarter of 2010.
The main advantage that the Intel Pineview processor brings over the Intel Atom CPU is the possibility to use higher clock frequencies.Other advancements include:
- reduced motherboard realeastate: 2174mm(Atom)->773mm(Pineview).
- Better memory support from N270’s DDR2 533 to DDR2 667
- GPU core frequencies increased from 133MHz to 200MHz
- PCB design now uses only 4 layers compared to 6 layers, which was previously used by Intel Atom
- TDP dropped from 8W to 7W
