Intel Atom Z550 2GHz & Z515 launched; Moorestown gets first demo
SlashGear —
Intel have officially announced two new Atom processors, the Z550 and the Z515. First tipped back in March, the processors - which Intel expect to find homes in MIDs - run at 2GHz and 1.2GHz respectively, with Hyperthreading supported on the faster chip. The company also demonstrated their upcoming Moorestown MID platform, which brings with it super-frugal power demands and the potential for smaller devices.
Despite the fastest clock speed we’ve seen in an Atom so far, the Z550 still brings it in at under 3W of power. As for ...

The chip, according to Intel, will consume 10 times less power when at standby mode when compared with the Atom chips presently being used in smaller devices. Based on the company’s Lincroft System-on-chip platform, Moorestown will include an Atom microprocessor core and a memory controller hub. Along with the Moblin software, the Moorestown chip will give smaller devices the much-needed PC-like experience when on the internet or making calls.

... at MIDs and include the Z550 and Z515. The Z515 processor runs at 1.2GHz and uses Intel Burst Performance technology for small and sleek MIDs. The Z550 processor runs at 2GHz and features Intel Hyper Threading technology.
The new 2GHz processor is the first Atom processor from Intel that could offer significantly more performance for netbooks. The last new Atom announced for netbooks was not significantly more powerful than the N270 it replaced.

Intel Ensures Better Next-Gen Netbooks With New Atom Chips
Fast Company - Technology —
... version of its completely next-gen Atom range, based on a smaller 45nm fab process and tweaked chip architecture--both of which contribute to a 10-fold improvement in power efficiency.
Seems the netbooks, mini-tablets and MIDs we'll see late this year are going to be very interesting machines indeed---maybe even reinjecting some life into the netbook genre, which is lately becoming slightly muddled.

A year after launching the first Atom 1.6GHz Intel Atom 230 and N270 processors, Intel is unveiling its next generation Atom chips: The Z550 which tops out at 2GHz, and the Z515 which normally runs at 800MHz, but which features Intel Burst Performance Technology which boosts the speed up to 1.2GHz when extra power is needed. ...
Intel Ups the Atom Ante: Claims They’re For MIDs

... but maybe there’s something else inside too.
The Atom processor is the standard chipset for netbooks but in the announcement Intel made it clear these new chips are aimed at Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs). Intel is apparently not going to give up on the MID genre, even though it hasn’t seen any real action. I’m sure we’ll see at least the Z550 appear in netbooks once released, as it is definitely the hot category by anyone’s standards.

... to. Sounds like an interesting idea, though its hard to imagine anyone running into this chip as often as the Z550.
Intel is the obvious leader in processors for netbooks, and the new Atoms are just furthering their lead. NVIDIA, ARM, AMD and Via are still working on their chips, which may prove more interesting than the Atom chips, but it might take a lot of work for anyone to take the netbook crown from Intel and the Atom.

Intel announces 2.0GHz Atom CPU
TechSpot —
Intel has officially announced two new Z-series Atom processors aimed at mobile internet devices and netbooks. As expected, the flagship Z550 part extends performance to 2GHz with Intel Hyper-Threading support, while the even more power efficient Z515 will be the first Intel chip to feature Burst Performance Technology, which lets the processor run at up to 1.2GHz when such performance is needed and slower when it isn't. Both of the new CPUs are built on the existing Silverthorne architecture and maintain a sub-3-watt TDP. [image] During its keynote at the Intel Developer ...

... la SpeedStep), Burst upclocks the processor when activity spikes, leaving it in a lower-clocked state by default. This makes sense for MIDs, which, in most use cases (i.e., reading the Web or documents) will see extended periods of relative inactivity punctuated by short bursts of activity (i.e., scrolling, or running a Flash program). Speeding up Larrabee? Perhaps the most interesting part of today's IDF announcement, which I almost overlooked, was the following line from Intel's press release : "The first Larrabee discrete graphics products are due in the late 2009/2010 ...
