Current Pine-Trail M Atom has a good year and a few months more before it gets replaced by a next generation platform. Pine-Trail platform in mobile world got introduced in first days of Q1 2010 and it should remain the dominant Atom platform at least until the second half of 2011.

Intel plans to have qualification silicon samples by Q2 2011 and if all goes well, it should start selling and producing Cedar-Trail M 32nm Atoms in second half of 2011. Of course the same timing applies to the chipset, wireless and the rest of the platform.

The company doesn't want to get specific and say it will happen in Q3 or Q4 2011 as it wants to leave some space for possible delays, but at least you can have some rough estimates when this new Atom might launch.

Don't forget that Cedar Trail –M will come with new Atom CPU in 32nm and full HD support from Intel, so it is cool to get excited about it.
