Expect for another onslaught of new netbook releases either t before the year ends or early next year. For sure, once Intel releases its new processor that will replaced the Atom CPU that we find in most netbooks nowadays, netbook manufacturers will be rushing to beat each other in coming up first with a Pineview netbooks/nettops.
Intel confirmed this during the IDF earlier this week. And even gave some information about what to expect from the Pineview CPU once it gets into the insides of our beloved netbooks and nettops.
Pineview would make netbooks and nettops' CPU smaller and would allo w manufacturers to come up with thinner netbooks. Power consumption will also improved hence longer battery life.
Aside from these, communication between the processor and memory will also be faster, so future netbooks will be much much faster than current netbook models. Multimedia capabilities will also be enhanced so expect manufacturers to explore and on this. Perhaps make their netbooks HD capable.
But most important of all Pineview CPU will cost less than Atom so we might be seeing cheaper and yet powerful netbooks in the future.
