INTEL ATOM D2500 AND D2700 CEDAR TRAIL CHIPS LEAKED

It looks like Intel's next-generation low power Atom processors are all ready to launch during the fourth quarter of this year. Details including model numbers and clock speeds of some of the upcoming Cedar Trail platform processors have leaked.

One of these processors - the Atom D2500 - is a dual core processor with a clock speed of 1.86GHz. It has a total power draw of 10 watts and supports DDR3 memory, DirectX 10.1 graphics and Blu-ray video.

The Atom D2700 is a faster processor with a 2.13GHz clock speed and the same 10W TDP. Both chips are based on the 32nm architecture which has the processor and graphics core on the same piece of silicon.

It is not clear whether these processors are aimed at desktops or laptops, but historically Intel chip names beginning with D have been for desktops. Notebook processors usually begin with N or Z.
