Computex: Intel shrinks Atom tablets, netbooks (images)

At Computex Tuesday, Intel co-general manager of the Intel Architecture Group Dadi Perlmutter showed his company was giving new power to the Atom chip with “Pine Trail” mobile dual-core and “Oak Trail” processors optimized for tablets and netbooks. The updated chips will allow manufacturers to build thinner devices.

Intel promises that its upcoming mobile dual-core Atom processors will provide additional responsiveness and an enhanced online experience for netbook users.

Intel says its mobile dual-core Intel Atom processors will deliver a noticeably snappier, more responsive experience.

Intel claims the world’s thinnest Intel Atom-based netbook platforms.

At the show, Permutter demoed a dual-core Pineview netbook showing off fast browsing with three tabs, flash, and video.
