3xx is the name


Single-core Atom integrated solutions are just around the corner and most of the launch platforms will go in ultra low-cost notebooks such as MSI's Wind PC and Asus Eee PC 900.

The desktop parts will follow shortly and they will be used for many upcoming thin clients. The Atom platform will always include the motherboard and a CPU soldered to it.

The Q3 brings a bit more interesting products, including Atom 3 series. The Atom 3xx will be the branding for the dual-core that will dissipate close to 8W of power, which is still insignificant compared to any current dual-core CPU.

It looks like the Atom 2xx series brand will be reserved for single-core, while Atom 3xx will become the brand of dual-cores.
