Engadget — Intel may be looking at bringing its Atom processor to some non-netbook laptops, but it looks like it's also planning to venture into some slightly more profitable territory, with CNET reporting that the company is on track to release a new Core-architecture processor for ultra-thin laptops later this year. That processor would apparently be priced well above the low-cost Atom, but below the likes of the Core 2 Duo "S" processor used in current ultra-thin laptops like the MacBook Air and Voodoo Envy 133. Unfortunately, Intel doesn't seem to be quite ready to get much more specific than that, with it only saying that the processor could be used in ...

Intel Also Designing Processor for Low-Cost, Ultrathin Laptops [Processors]

CNET's sources at CES told them that the processor, which will be priced above the Atom but below the pricey ULV Core 2 Duos found in ultraportables and current thin laptops like the MacBook Air and Voodoo Envy 133, are "going to enable notebooks that are less than one inch (25mm) thick," but that don't cost as much as the aforementioned computers. The performance level will be commensurate with the price, give or take: significantly more powerful than the Atom, but by no means a flagship processor. ...

If loose-lipped Intel staff at CES this past week are accurate, the semiconductor company will have a new ultraportable CPU due sometime in 2009, according to CNET . The mystery chip is characterized as a compromise between netbook processors like the Atom, which is very low power but also very slow, and the relatively fast but expensive full-featured chips used by ultraportable notebooks. While not providing much ...
