If you still remember in my previous post, I have posted before one of Asus netbook which is equipped with an Intel Atom N550 processor.  On that time that model was really popular then. Recently HP has announced its version with an ATOM N5500 processor which is said to believe that HP will have its Intel Atom Dual Core N5500 with a clockspeed of 1.5 Ghz processor with a 512kb L2 cache and 667FSB, much faster than the previous version. So if you are planning to get your own netbook then you might want to have these notebook series which are dual core. The HP Mini 5103 is going to be released in next month in the U.S.

Lenovo has unveiled its latest laptop called ThinkPad L412. This latest technology is powered by Intel Core i3 processor running with a clockspeed of 2.13GHz. The ThinkPad L412 display features 16:9 High Definition Anti-glare showed in an 14 inch LCD led and GMA HD graphics. It has a whooping 2GB DDR3 memory, wireless connectivity options, and a storage capacity of 160 GB. Thinkpad L412 can also use Core i5 (optional) processor and extend its memory usage up to 8GB DDR3 and Hard Drive up to 500GB. Other specifications include 2-Megapixel webcam, Bluetooth, DVD+/-RW and 57% bootup speed and shutdown Windows 7.

Upon reading the latest technology news about MSI touchscreen notebook that seems to support Windows 7 touchscreen capabilities. It says that MSI may release a touchscreen netbook with Intel’s next generation Pine Trail Atom platform, and based on what I’ve read MSI have confirmed this statement. According to MSI, the new Intel Atom chipset is planned to be officially launched at CES. However, Intel tells us that it has not nailed down the launch of Pine Trail yet and maintains it will ship products to its customers before the end of the year.

Clocked at 2.83 GHz, the Q9550 is the second most powerful after the Q9650 in the Core 2 Quad family. The Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 made it to the top by defeating AMD’s most powerful quad-core processor, the Phenom X4 955, by a small margin on the time it was released. It scored higher in most 3D benchmark tests except the audio and video encoding tests. Since both Core 2 Quad Q9550 and Phenom II X4 955 are priced almost the same, still the Q9550 is the better choice. Not because I’m a great fan of Intel processors that’s why I’ve chosen this one, but because of it’s performance and features. Still don’t underestimate AMD’s Phenom II X4 995, because it has features to unlocked multiplier which makes overclocking a breeze. However, the Q9550 can be overclocked much higher (more than 1 GHz) by increasing the FSB.

Good news for all the techie and geeks out there, especially for the Intel Core i7 enthusiasts. A new model of the Core i7 platform is now available, the Core i7 Extreme 975 and Core i7 950 processors are now out at a few online US retailers as of this morning.

As we mentioned back in February, both processors are to serve as replacements for the existing Core i7 Extreme 965 and Core i7 940 at higher clock speeds, a new stepping revision, and the same respective price points.
