Intel Atom chip for netbooks now with DDR3 support
Intel is expanding its successful line of Atom CPUs. Even in the second quarter of 2010, the chipmaker will probably bring a successor to the Atomic D510 on the market: the atomic D525. The new Atom CPU supports DDR3 memory is clocked at 1.8 GHz and, like its predecessor a TDP of 13 watts.
Chip manufacturer Intel is successful with its Atom CPUs, especially in the market for netbooks. In the months to bring the Intel Atom processor N470, N475 and N455 in the trade. The models Atom N475 and N455 are working together with both DDR2 and DDR3 RAM.
Also still in the current quarter, Intel would bring out a successor to the D510 Atom: The Atom D525 works with a clock speed of 1.8 GHz and, like its predecessor a TDP of 13 watts. It can work both with DDR2 memory as well as with the newer, faster DDR3 memory.
The Atom CPUs with an N before the number are for netbooks, with a D before the number for use in desktop computers as Nettops.

How technology Play every day
Technological advances in many areas make it possible to build devices that were not possible 20, 10 or even 5 years ago too. Been the rapid development of integrated circuits (IC) is a major factor and the other important factors are the rapid development of the color screen and camera. Advances in IC’s have led to the reduction of the size and weight of mobile devices as the required processing can be faster with smaller equipment and lower costs. Color high-resolution screens allow complex applications and services are presented for visually that 10 years ago were in science fiction movies were. The pace will occur in which these advances in technology, is mind boggling and difficult to predict.
The Apple iPhone is an excellent example of a phone, the small, smooth and has some amazing applications that 5 years ago would have been difficult to support such a device. Apple have traditional mobile manufacturers like Nokia and Ericsson, that the application to provide equipment services to the customers driven show is far better than a high-specification supports the latest mobile 3GPP specification.
