Intel finally announced the official name for their new line of processors code-named Silverthorne. The new name? Atom Apparently, Intel’s new MID processor is extending the Centrino family although the architecture is quite a bit different.

Integrated graphics are a nice way to keep prices low, and Intel has been making some strides in that area with they new X3100 chips putting up some fairly impressive numbers. Those numbers will only get better when Intel’s X4500 graphics chips launch with the new Centrino 2 platform.
Each of those numbers correspond mainly to the available screen sizes with the 1420 having a 14.1-inch screen, the 1520 having a 15.4” screen, and the 1720 having a 17-inch screen. The 1420 and 1520 will now have the T8300 Penryn chip running at 2.4GHz as an option.
Intel will be labeling its new Montevina platform as Centrino 2. The chip is due in Q2 (probably in May) and will be running on 1066MHz FSB with clock starting from 2.26Ghz up to 3.06Ghz. The Centrino 2 chips will be priced at $209-851.

Occasionally I get these emails from TechwareLabs, it’s like an up and coming version of the good old days of Tom’s Hardware Guide, anyways, they take various gadgets and pieces of hardware and put them through their paces, this time they had an AMD Phenom 9600 Black Edition. They started out running it as is, [...]
NVIDIA’s latest addition to the mobile graphics market doesn’t offer up much new in terms of hardware performance its 8000M series brethren. In fact, hardware wise the 9500M GS and 9300M G are exactly the same as the 8600M GT and 8400M GS, respectively.
This new system has a 750MHz ARM11 processor that can run through 720p video like it was nothing. There is also an ultra-low power GeForce core in there that handles the media such as encoding and decoding the 720p video and up to 12MP pics.
The X9000 is the top-end of the mobile Penryn line for now, and its coming sometime this month. It has an 800MHz FSB, dual-core running at a clock speed of 2.8GHz and the same 45nm process that has garnered the Penryn line all of this attention. It also has an amazing 6MB of cache.
Word on the streets is that Dell is going to be making the jump to Penryn soon. This leak comes from some people that CNet believes to be reliable insiders and they say the change over will take place next week.
