Atom Z Processor to be MID only – Intel says Z-series not for netbooks
Now that’s shocking! Will this be the end of netbooks with Atom Z processors? Rumors says that now Intel won’t be accepting any more orders for Atom Z processors from netbook makers in coming time and may be by the end of this year (2009). They want to set a clear boundary between Atom N processors for netbooks and have the Z series specifically for the MID market. Since the Acer, ASUS and MSI have already placed their Z-series processors order to the Intel, they will still be getting their Atom Z processors.
One can wonder if this could affect netbooks and mini-notebooks that ship with Windows Vista or the ones with 11.6-inch display.
Sony now offering Z530 proccessor for VAIO P
Sony is now (finally) offering the ‘faster’ Atom Z530 processor to the US consumers. The Z530 runs at 1.6GHz as compared to 1.3GHz Z520 processor. The ‘new’ Atom will be offered in the new P698E model, in which Sony has also bundled the 128GB SSD. Keep in mind that Z530 is still slower than N270/N280 processor, but offers better battery life.
I don’t think that it would be appealing enough for the consumers to shell out so much. Anyway, if you have $1500 lying around, then you should give this little thing a shot!
