$20 less for single core


As we reported before, new Atoms in desktop flavour as a part of Pine-trail D platform are due to launch in Q1 2010, which is a delay of original plan to launch in Q4 2009. Now we got some details about pricing.


Dual-core Atom D510 clocked at 1.66 GHz, with 1MB of cache on BGA437 will sell for $63 at launch. The price is higher comparing to $43 that Intel wants for currently selling dual-core Atom 330, but D510 has a GPU and the rest of the Northbridge in the CPU.

The new single-core Atom D410 that works at 1.66GHz and has 512KB cache will sell for $43, again a massive price increase from $29 that Intel today wants for desktop Atom 230, but again, D410 has the Northbridge inside of the CPU that kind of can justify the higher price.
