AMD looking forward for triple core for notebooks

Many new CPUs have been planned for Q2 2010 by AMD. Danube is part of a 2010 platform and it supports AMD-V.  The Phenom II triple-core N820 mobile processor has a 35W TDP and has three cores, which is nothing more than a quad-core with one core disabled. It has 1.5MB total cache or 512KB [...]

Dual core Intel Atom 510 TDP uncovered – 13W which means it is STILL a power-sipping processor

The TDP (Thermal Design Power) for the new dual-core Atom D510 processor for nettops is 13W. For those who know the TDP of dual-core Atom 330 processor, it sounds a lot more. TDP of dual core Atom 330 is 8W, but that does not includes the TDP of its Intel 945GC chipset which is 6W. This brings us to a total of 14W (8W+6W).

The Atom 510 has Northbridge and graphic chipset integrated. The Northbridge (Intel 945SE) has 6W TDP and Southbridge needs additional 3.3W. So, if the NM10 Southbridge will require the same, 3-4W for its operation, the TDP of the dual core Atom 510 will end up at 16.3W which is similar to current dual core Atom 330 CPU, 14W (with Intel 945GC chipset)

Atom N470 (1.83GHz) to be launched in Q1 2010

Intel’s next generation processor for netbooks AKA Intel Pine Trail/Pine View will make its debut next year. Now, we have come to know that Atom N470 processor, a pineview CPU that runs at 1.83GHz clock speed is coming in Q1 2010.

Please note that this is still a single-core processor and we will wait for quite some time for Intel to announce dual core processors for its netbooks. The CPU itself has 6.5W TPD which is more than double more compared to N270 1.6GHz Atom, but you have to remember that Atom N470 has 200MHz IGP integrated and the TDP is now calculated for both chips

Clarksfield 45nm quad-core and Arrandale 32nm dual-core now 45nm graphics Core i7 says Intel

Now its just 45nm graphics Core i7. Yes, the Clarksfield 45nm quad-core and Arrandale 32nm dual-core is called with 45nm graphics Core i7, says the Intel. It will surely create a loads of mess and confusion in the mobile market, as some of the Core i7 parts will have four cores and some only two. [...]
