A new Atom from Intel

Intel has announced the release of a new Atom processor. The N470 sees its frequency increasing and now reaches 1,83 GHz. In spite of its increase in power it should nevertheless make it possible the ultra portables to gain with battery life.
There is not much chance that Apple will offer a machine using this processor. The company seems to have decided to divide its mobile ranges in two, on one side there are the portables with of Core 2 duos while waiting for the ix, and on the other side, the ultra products portable: the iPad, iPhone… with ARM processors. The latter has the merit to be able to be made to measure according to the specific needs of each product.
One can however think that Apple will one day update its Apple TV, in this case, the Atom with perhaps a Ion 2 chipset will be the best solution by far. But this hobby seems to remain as such as at least until the day when the ATA discs of 40 and 160 GB exist no more…
