Dual core Atoms

I was so tempted to get my hands on one of the more famous netbooks which is widely aceepted as the best netbook around- the Samsung NC20. However, after doing a research, I found out that Nvidia is going to release their upcoming Nvidia Ion platform which basically add an Nvidia graphics to the much needed Atom CPU.

The problem with many netbooks is the the graphics is not one of the best ones as manufacturers are trying to sell more units rather than to provide a better value of servce to customers. Eventually customers realized that pairing the Ato. With Intel's GMA graphic card is not going to improve any performance of the netbook. That is where Nvidia is stepping in. Those guys at Nvidia is going to install an Nvidia Gforce 9400M on any netbook which pairs it with an Intel Atom CPU.

I del that it will be a good idea because it will improve on a netbook's overall performance although the Cpu supports hyperthreading. Wait, we are expecting an upgrade to the much needed N280 CPU or the N330 dual core CPU. Lady luck is on our side as Intel is going to release More dual core Atoms based on their Pineville chipset and it will be a first dual core CPU for netbooks as the current N330 dual core is just for desktop mobo.

I think I am going to wait for the release of the Pineville dual core CPU paired with an Nvidia GPU. Stay tuned. For those people who can't wait until the new arrival of the new CPU from Intel, they may want to check out on Samsung's NC10 for their 10.1" offering and NC20 for their 12.1" offering. Don't get the Acer Aspire 751 or the Dell Mini 12 as they are under performing 12.1" netbooks. The Lenovo's Ideapad S12 will be a good choice by it is not available until next month.

Stay tuned for more updates...
