Where can I purchase the above Atom N570 Chip?
I wonder what price point do they think they are going to be getting.
If they try and bush these things in the lower end laptop for the 400-600 USD we have a problem. I'd rather they try to get these into tablets or something and using them to innovate not inundated with chips that are not up to the task of the processors that camne before them and at the same price.
