The new Atom 330 will have dual 1.6GHz cores, a 533MHz FSB and 1MB cache (512KB per core).   With the same pins and connections it will be able to use the same motherboards as single-core Atom, slotting directly into the BGA 437 socket.

At present, the Atom 230 CPU plus motherboard is selling for $58 wholesale.  Intel previously hoped to release the Atom 330 in Q3 2008.
