Intel plans to release a dual-core Atom processor in September, part of a motherboard package that's designed for low-cost desktops, the company said at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco.
Intel has long been expected to release a dual-core Atom chip, which should give a performance boost to desktop computers that use the chip. Currently, Intel only offers single-core versions of the Atom.
The D945GCLF2 motherboard will include the Atom 330 processor, Intel said, without offering details of the chip, such as clock speed. When released, the official name is likely to be Atom N330, based on the company's product name conventions.
