The Itanium is an architecture that will be around for the next 20 years
Atom not delayed, claims Intel
INTEL has denied rumours that its next generation Atom chips have been delayed.
The dark satanic rumour mill had manufactured a yarn which said that Chipzilla was having a few problems with 'Pine Trail' Atom chip and it will not be seen until next year. The chip is destined to find its way into netbooks.
Speaking at the Intel Technology Summit in San Francisco, Mooly Eden, general manager of the mobile platforms group at Intel, denied that Pine Trail was late and said it is on schedule.
For those who came in late, Pine Trail sports an integrated graphics processor. The memory controller will also be built onto the same chip as the main processor.
Eden claimed that Pine Trail would be around in the second half of the year and will be shown off at the September Intel Developer Forum. µ

Maybe now the OSS community will get their act together and build some drivers so that Linux on this chipset is actually useable.
It's just running a little . . . hot.
What is it with Intel and graphics?
Just keep gluing chips on top of one another until you have a pyramid....math processor + memory + controllers + video chip + audio chip + more memory + (finally) bios chip for the crowning achievement to deaden any paths that refuse to corporate....what could go wrong?
Or will we still be seeing netbooks running at 1.6 gigglesplurtz?
The prob on the Linux side - the PowerVR core has closed specs. intel is usually quite good about whipping up drivers for their kit, but their hands are largely tied here.
It's going to, sadly, take a reverse engineering effort to get free drivers out. And that tends to take a while...
I think arm still have advatages with intel pineview platforms in battery lifes with decent performances that competitively beats intel atom if the chips clocked higher.
