At the company's investor meeting in Santa Clara, California this past week, Intel showed off a netbook that was equipped with the company's very own Intel Atom dual-core processor. The webcast event also showed off a new tablet computer that would be equipped with an Intel Atom chipset.
New netbooks and tablets featuring Intel chips will be displayed at Computex 2010. According to Mooly Eden, the Vice President and General Manager of Intel's PC Client Group, the company wants to raise the bar in netbook performance and they're aiming to do that with the release of dual-core Atom processors. Essentially, this technology will allow users to more efficiently run multiple applications on their netbooks at the same time.
Netbooks have been around for a while, and people are no longer willing to sacrifice their relatively poor performance (at least compared to laptops) for the added portability and convenience. Eden says, "People are not willing to compromise anymore. We do not think about one thing, we think about several things at a time. We expect our computer to do the same thing."
According to Intel's CEO Paul Otellini, the netbook market is continuing to grow, so improving the performance of netbook technology is very important.
