MSI Wind U100 gets new CPU – now uses Atom N280 processor

MSI’s Wind U100 with new CPU was announced back in April and finally it is here. The (new) Wind U100 Plus features an Atom N280 CPU and this means you get a slightly higher clock speed, 1.66HHz to be exact, and a 667MHz bus versus 533MHz on the N270.

Rest of the specs remain unchanged, but there’s is barely much to change as it already has just about everything Intel and Microsoft allow on a Windows XP based netbook, i.e. 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive

Even after the processor update, the prices are expected to stay the same, and the new version should not cost more than the old N270-based Wind. It will be available in two new colors: Rose Champagne and Metallic Blue.

   Just me, but the N270 vs the N280 thing is just Intel playing with the clock multiplier and fsb of the same cpu. The MSI Wind fsb overclock indicates the 133 to 166 Mhz fsb overclock really is the 24% max that a locked 12X or even a speedstepped Atom N270 can do ? So they bump the fsb the 24 % and and then drop the clock multiplier from 12 to 10, that’s a 17 % drop and voilla, a net 4.2 % increase in total Mhz speed. And the benchmarks would support that the weighted tweaks to the cpu settings are about that too ? Rebadged N270 and new life to the same product ?
