Intel has officially announced several new Atom processors today, but it failed to disclose the most important details about them: pricing and availability. Fortunately, we did that for them on several occasions so we won't even bother doing it again, at least not in detail.

Intel's new Atom CPUs feature integrated graphics and a much more power efficient and compact two-chip NM10 Express chipset. Dual core parts are still reserved for nettops, while notebook makers will have to make do with single-core units. The new CPUs will not offer a significant performance boost compared to current generation Atoms.

Intel has announced more than 80 design wins for new Atoms. The list includes the usual suspects, such as Asus, Acer, Dell, MSI, Toshiba and Samsung. Interestingly, Intel claims it has shipped in excess of 40 millio Atom processors for netbooks since the chip's introduction in mid 2008. This is just the beginning, as analysts expect Atom shipments to go into the hundreds of millions come 2011.
