Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t multitouch tablet up for order with Atom N470
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on January 30th, 2010
If you have yet to join the Pine Trail party, how about this multitouch tablet netbook from Lenovo? Word has it that you can now order the IdeaPad S10-3t with Atom N470 processor (along with 250GB HDD, 2GB RAM and Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit) billed at $649 -- $100 more than its N450-equipped sibling (160GB HDD, 1GB RAM and Windows 7 Starter). Mind you, the page does say that it won't be shipped for at least four more weeks, and this spec isn't even listed on the main product page yet, but the source link's there for you reckless venturers.[Thanks, OneLove]

Lenovo | Email this | Comments Eurotech unveils Catalyst LP
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 30th, 2009
Eurotech is one of the leading supplier of embedded technologies, products, and systems, and the company has just announced the launch of Catalyst LP, which in essence is a compact, low-power embedded system that is powered by the latest Intel Atom processors N450 (Pine Trail), D410 and D510. This is one of the newer products from the highly popular Eurotech Catalyst family of computer on modules, where one will be able to eke out high-performance graphics for applications that require high-end 2-D and 3-D visualization with high-resolution graphics capabilities, where among them include digital signage. Apart from that, high bandwidth I/O capability such as PCIe, and data storage interfaces like SATA place the Catalyst LP under the enviable position of being ideal for applications that require extensive data retrieval and processing, especially for those involved under the industrial, medical, gaming and human-machine interface umbrellas.
At first glance, most of us would probably be surprised at the relatively small size of the Catalyst LP system which comes with a compact 67×100mm form factor, where it is capable of leveraging the full price/performance benefits of the Intel Atom processor-based platform. Since it boasts a common footprint, the Catalyst LP system can be scaled easily, enabling existing Catalyst Module customers to migrate to the new Intel Atom processors N450, D410, or D510 without breaking a sweat. Some of the other features available on Eurotech’s Catalyst LP include :-
- Low-power design with Eurotech microcontroller-based power management system
- Scalablility to leverage the range of Intel Atom processor performance capabilities in I/O and 2-D and 3-D graphics
- Flexibility in allowing migration to Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and multicore technology (with the dual-core Intel Atom processor D510) while maintaining the small 67 x 100 form factor of the Eurotech Catalyst family
- Operating system support for Windows CE, Windows Embedded Standard and Wind River Linux 3.0
- Easy application development with Eurotech’s optional Everyware Software Framework based on the Java Virtual Machine

Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 22nd, 2009
Intel’s Atom processor has been pretty successful so far to say the least, and the current worldwide leader in processors are certainly not going to rest on their laurels – hence coming up with a next generation Intel Atom platform. This will be the first Intel processors that see the integration of graphics as well as a memory controller in the CPU, which in turn results in power reduction, smaller systems and performance jumps. This higher level of integration alongside the inclusion of 45nm manufacturing will see the average power consumption go down to 20% over the previous generation, which will certainly carve a smile on netbook manufacturers’ faces as their products will experience a longer battery life.
We can expect to see major OEMs roll out netbooks with the new Intel Atom processors within the next few weeks, so those who want to own a new netbook might want to hold off their purchases for a while more if the situation has yet to reach the urgent and critical level, as chugging along to a new processor is always much better compared to running on something older. The latest Intel Atom platform for netbooks will comprise of a new Intel Atom processor known as the N450, alongside a new low-power Intel NM10 Express Chipset. For those who are looking at entry level desktop PCs, you can choose from the Intel Atom processor D410 or the dual core D510, where it will also be paired with the Intel NM10 Express Chipset.
What’s the big deal about these new Atom processors, you ask? Well, one of the most significant features would be the integration of memory controller and graphics into the CPU, making it a first in the industry on x-86 chips. This results in significant cost reductions, a smaller average footprint and being more power efficient to keep in line with the green theme. We can’t wait to see what kind of desktops that will be released with this new processor, especially their design and how they would fit into everyday life.

HP Mini 210 spied with PineTrail CPU, found cavorting on retail sites
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 22nd, 2009
Remember that Mini 210 mentioned in HP’s leak from a few months back? Looks like it’s on the comeback as the Pine Trail-powered replacement for the Mini 110 (noticing a trend here?). Logichp has some fancy press pics, and additionally, online retailer eCost lists the little guy for $321 and claims 1GB of RAM, 160GB to 250GB HDD, 802.11b/g/n, card reader, and Windows 7 Starter Edition, a.k.a. the new norm for netbooks.
[Thanks, Tim]

Permalink | | Email this | CommentsNext-Generation Intel Atom Processors: Smaller, More Efficient, Not Much More Powerful [Processors]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 21st, 2009
Intel revealed its new line of Atom processors today, including the "Pineview" nettop-centered ones we saw benchmarked earlier. What do they have to offer? A smaller footprint, better efficiency, and not a lot more power.
The new chips include the N450 for netbooks and the D410 and D510 for nettops (or, as Intel kept calling them, "entry-level desktops"). The big news is that they've integrated the graphics and memory controller into the processor, which results in a much smaller footprint (and in turn, could mean smaller devices). They've also made the usual improvements in efficiency and size—the N450 is 60% smaller and 20% more efficient than its predecessor, while the D410 and D510 are 70% smaller and 50% more efficient.
But there hasn't been much change in the base power of the chips; the N450 is clocked at 1.66GHz, single-core, with a 512kb cache and supports only DDR2 memory. Besides that, the 2GB memory ceiling is still in effect—and the Nvidia Ion configuration will give you better graphics performance. Intel will announce final pricing and availability information at CES. [Intel]
