And what’s the difference between the N270 which are being used by most 2nd generation of netbooks today to the N280?  The Atom N280 has a clock-speed of 1.66GHz as compared to the 1.6GHz of the N270. In addition, the N280 has a bus speed of 667MHz while the N270 only had 533MHz.

In terms of price, the Atom N280 is a bit pricey at around $60-65 in thousand-unit tray quantities as compared to the N270′s $46.

Incidentally, Asustek has already shown a new netbook which listed the N280 as the processor during the CES. This will be called the Eee PC 1004DN.
