Intel Atom N570 Processor Arrives in Netbooks from HP, Asus, Acer and Lenovo

Earlier this month Intel announced the latest netbook processor in the Atom line, the Intel Atom N570 dual core processor. The new Atom processor has a slightly higher clock speed of 1.66GHz, compared to the previous generation Intel Atom N550, but retains the same power draw so battery life should be similar to the previous generation.

Dual core Atom netbooks are able to handle a wider variety of tasks than a single core atom netbook with enhanced processing power and the ability to deliver a richer multimedia experience. That said, the increase from an Intel Atom N550 dual core processor to an Intel Atom N570 dual core processor will not likely be very noticeable. Many of the new netbooks carry a price premium, so you may want to stick with the Atom N550 processor option while you can score a deal.

Already we are seeing an influx of netbooks which make use fo the new processor from Acer, ASUS, HP and Lenovo. We also expect to see a Samsung netbook arrive soon with the Intel Atom N570 processor.
