Today, sources close to Intel have pointed out that the company recently announced plans to restructure its marketing strategies for the second half of 2009. Rather than introducing entry-level netbook and nettop platforms, it has decided to maintain a solid focus on its mainstream level audience with the Lynnfield LGA 1156 desktop platform.

Many times, we’ve mentioned that Intel's 32nm dual-core chip with 45nm IGP codenamed Clarkdale should start selling in Q1 2010. The same will be the case for Pine Trail-M (netbook) and Pine Trail-D (nettop) platforms, which are based on the NM10 express chipset combined with a dual-core Atom D510 1.66GHz or single-core Atom D410 1.66GHz processor.

The great part about the Pine Trail-M netbook platform is the fanless design, all thanks to the inclusion of an integrated memory controller and the repositioning of the IGP onto the silicon core itself. This results in a significantly lower TDP, and looks to be great times for the netbook market on the horizon.
