Yesterday we failed to mention that one more Atom is coming to town. It is the single core version of new DDR3 / DDR2 Atoms that are supposed to launch in Q2.

The name is Atom D425 and as you can imagine it is a single core 1.8GHz processor with DDR3 and DDR2 support. It has 512kb cache, no turbo, has integrated graphics and strangely enough even at 1.8GHz it can still remain under 10W TDP, just like the Atom D410 clocked at 1.66GHz.

Both Atom D425 and D525 are supposed to completely replace D510 and D410 and the transition starts already in Q2 2010. This has to mean that partners were unimpressed wit Atom D510 and 410 and they simply wanted something at least slightly faster than good old Atom N270 and 330, both clocked at 1.6GHz.

There are hints that even faster Atom CPUs will emerge in Q4 2010 and beyond, but nothing is confirmed at this time.
