The Intel Atom N450 release date controversy continues, and this time there’s a second processor that’s apparently being brought along for the ride. Despite Intel’s protestations to the contrary, the 1.66GHz N450 – the replacement for the N270 chip currently found in most netbooks – is still on track for a launch in Q1 2010, where it will apparently be accompanied with a 1.83GHz Atom N470.

It’s not quite the September 6th announcement we expected, but Intel have finally come clean on their new Core i7-860, i7-870 and Core i5-750 processors, along with a cluster of new Xeon chips. The three new Nehalem-based consumer processors run at 2.80GHz, 2.93GHz and 2.66GHz respectively, with the two Core i7 chips having four cores and eight threads each, while the Core i5 chip – which lacks Hyper Threading support – manages with four cores and four threads.
Each can be flipped into Turbo mode, with the i7-860 scaling up to 3.46GHz, the i7-870 up to 3.6GHz, and the i5-750 up to 3.2GHz. All three have a TDP of 95W, and will be priced – when bought in 1,000 unit quantities – at $284, $562 and $196 each, respectively.

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Aug 6th 2009 No CommentsVIA’s Nano-ITX boards have already acquired something of a following among people building tiny embedded computers, HTPC-style media streamers or other compact gadgets, but what happens if you want to take your media-PC-in-a-toaster to the nearest desert or mountain top?
