New Intel Atom N450 to be Launch in January

If you’re planning to get a new netbook before the year ends, you might want to hold off for a couple of months more until January. Especially so, if you still have an old netbook that you can use. Why? Because come January 2010, we expect to see more new netbooks to come out that would surely be loaded with the new Intel Atom N450 processor.

What makes this new Atom CPU interesting is the fact that it will now integrate the graphics and the rest of the chipset on to one chip. This means it will need lesser space and would probably give way for thinner and slimmer netbooks.

Unfortunately, there will be not too much difference in terms of battery life since the new Atom CPU is almost the same in performance as currently available ones.

    “Unfortunately, there will be not too much difference in terms of battery life since the new Atom CPU is almost the same in performance as currently available ones.”

    Actually, the total chipset power is about 1/2 that of the current netbook solution. This means much lower heat, so low that it won’t need a fan, which reduces power even further.

    But they will probably reduce the battery, so that the battery life is still around 8 hours.

    So the main difference will be – N450 netwooks will be really thin and light.
