Intel Atom roadmap

Intel showed its new Atom CPU roadmap & hopefully Intel can cope with the high demand in the near future, as most netbook manufacturers put Atom CPU's into their Netbooks.

Intel Atom roadmap

It looks like the next-generation of CPU's, dubbed "Pineview," will be released in the 3rd quarter next year.

The 45nm CPU's will follow the route taken by the current generation, using hyperthreading to double up single & dual processor cores so that the OS sees them as dual-core & quad-cores.

The microarchitecture is an update on the current Silverthorne system: like the bigger Nehalem chips, it's not using a frontside bus anymore, instead a Direct Media Interface will be used to connect to I-O chips. It'll also integrate graphics core & memory manager right into the chip packaging.
