1.6GHz, but not dual
Many manufacturers have got samples of Atom / Diamondvile processors to make their designs ready for the Computex. The sample CPUs are running at 1.6GHz and they are branded as Atom 2×0.
We can confirm that they can be completely passively cooled, but so far there is no word of dual-core Diamondvile samples.
Dual-core is reserved exclusively for desktop systems, but there might be someone who would like to plug this CPU in a notebook design. After 1.6GHz comes 1.87GHz, but so far Intel didn’t send any samples of that part.
