Atom N450 Pine Trail CPU

In global conference call today at the Intel
Philippines office, the company officially announced its new Atom processor — the Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz and Intel GMA 3150.

We were shown an engineering unit (an upcoming MSI netbook) running the new Pine Trail CPU with the NM10 Express Chipset. Screenshots of the CPU and GPU are shown below.

Unlike the old architecture, the graphics/display and memory controller is now
integrated into the processor. The software cannot fully identify the CPU and GPU so some of the details are still blank in the scans.

New netbooks with the Pine Trail N450 CPU should start coming out by January of 2010. The old N270 and N280 batch should also go down in prices once the N450 replaces them. The Atom Z5xx series will remains the same.

Intel also showed the new Atom N410 Single Core and Atom N510 Dual Core processors for the low-power desktop PC, replacing the old N330 models.
