Nothing like some smack-talk to start your week, and VIA have obviously decided they’ve heard enough about Intel’s Atom while their own Nano CPU gets relatively overlooked. Best way to distract attention? Slap some 1080p high-definition video onto both a 1.6GHz Atom-powered ASUS Eee and VIA’s own OpenBook reference design, and video the resulting playback.

Intel are aiming to take between three and five percent of OEM consumer sales with their Atom processor before the end of the year, but business use for the single-core version of the CPU is still seen as unlikely. According to Fudzilla, the silicon company intend to ratchet up their Atom market share to 3-percent [...]
After a leaked ASUS slide confirmed the Eee range would reach 23 different units, company president Jerry Shen has spoken about some of the upcoming models and the segments he expects the Eee PC to occupy. According to Shen, two new categories - Ultimate and Pro Fashion - will launch this year, each with dual-core [...]
Intel’s rumored Core 2 Quad Q8000-series processor is set to launch on August 31st, in the shape of the 2.33GHz Q8200 according to recent reports. The chip will have a 1,333MHz FSB and 4MB cache, and slot in beneath the existing Q9000-series of quad-core processors.
Fudzilla have acquired details on their upcoming dual-core version of the popular Intel Atom processor. The chip, the Atom 330, is designed to be used in budget ultraportables, netbooks and MIDs and is scheduled to be introduced on September 21st. It will be priced at $43 each; currently the single-core original Atom 230 costs $29.
Intel have announced a new product line, based on the Pentium M, intended for consumer electronics, mobile internet devices and embedded systems. The EP80579 Integrated Processor SoC (System on Chip) will ship in eight different variations, differentiated by CPU speed (ranging from 800 to 1,200MHz) and DDR2 memory controller speed (ranging from 400 to 800MHz); [...]
AMD isn’t letting their disappointing financial performance slow them down; fresh CEO Dirk Meyer has revealed that the company is preparing to reveal their rival to Intel’s Atom CPU in November. The chip, which has been codenamed ‘Bobcat’, will have a 1GHz clock speed, 128KB of L1 cache and 256KB of L2 cache, together with an on-board [...]
Intel have officially announced their ‘Montevina’ Centrino 2 platform, including five new processors, new chipsets and wireless products. They’ve also stoked up a high-performance version, the Centrino 2 Extreme Edition, which promises to be the world’s highest performing dual-core mobile processor. Support for WiFi draft-n and, later in the year, WiMAX are also promised, as [...]
Intel’s Atom platform may have rejuvenated the low-power ultraportable market - prompting quick retaliation from VIA in the shape of the Nano and a speculated 1GHz AMD chip - but they perhaps didn’t expect to take on the makers of industrial PCs (IPCs). According to a Digitimes report, however, that’s just the situation some analysts believe will [...]
AMD have announced three new processors in its quad-core Phenom X4 range, the new flagship 9950 Black Edition and two more power-friendly chips, the Phenom X4 9350e and Phenom X4 9150e. AMD uses ‘Black Edition’ labelling to indicate processors that are ready out-of-the-box for overclocking, and the 9950 is no exception; a max TDP of [...]
