Before the end of this year Intel plans to introduce Pine Trail-M, the successor of its quite popular Atom-powered netbook platform, and although it has already
been detailed, only now has info popped up to reveal its (potential) consumer naming scheme. According to a
report, Pine Trail-M will be known as the combination of an Atom N400 (codename Pineview-M) series CPU and the NM10 Express (Tiger Point-M) chip, with the former set to initially include one model, the N450 which will be clocked at 1.66GHz , have a FSB of 667MHz, and 512kB of L2 cache (same as the N280), a TDP of just 7W, and an integrated graphics core running at 200MHz.
Moving into 2010, Intel will introduce a new nettop platform and (for starters) two 1.66GHz processors, the single-core Atom D410 and dual-core D510. Expect a lot of manufacturers to jump in and release netbooks (and nettops) using the new platforms so N450, NM10, D410 and D510 should become household names quickly enough.
