    It's not listed in the Intel chart yet, but I assume it will run at 1.66GHz? I'd be curious to see how it stacks up against the N475 at 1.83Ghz in general use.....

    It is 1.5GHz and has 1mb of L2 cache, twice as much as an N475.

    It was about time.Single core Atom based netbooks have been around for ages it seems.Eventually they would have needed some boost to stack up against the competition of ulv's and Neo platform.

    Unfortunately the dual core probably retains the in-order execution of the other atoms, which would likely still make it slower than the Neo X2s. Of course it would still dominate in power efficiency though......
