Future ones
Intel has
found out that its future generation Atoms will be able to run at least two
versions of Windows 7.
We are talking about Pine-Trail M, a single-core Atom
with an integrated IGP and Pine-Trail D, a dual-core Atom scheduled for Q4 2009
nettop (small desktop) platform. Pine-Trail M is a new CPU for netbooks and it
comes in Q1 2010.
Microsoft
and Intel found that Windows 7 starter and Home basic will run well on
these two CPUs and the ultra mobile Menlow platform.
Intel still
doesn´t know if Windows 7 will officially run on existing Atom CPUs and
platforms, probably due to the bad graphics that is part of 945GSE chipset.
