Linux Laptop
As mentioned on linuxdevices.com, the next Atom laptop will ship by summer. The laptop will be configured with 7-10 inch screen, will run Linux and/or Windows XP, and the expected price range between $250 and $300.
Built on 45 nanometer process technology and using “High-K” metal gate transistor technologies, the first Atom processors will fit onto a 25mm by 25mm die, and will use a tenth of the power drawn by Core2 Duo “ULV” chips, Intel says, while scaling to 1.8GHz speeds. Performance is expected to fall well under similarly clocked Core2 chips, however, due to the use of a micro-architecture optimized for power efficiency rather than performance.
