Google translation of the first link on the Google search n510+site:intel.com yields the following: "Secondly, the new, more energy-efficient Atom go with the new chipset, so a bunch of "processor-chipset" consumes significantly less energy and compared with the previous generation of markedly smaller in size. Clock speeds are the same; Atom N450 is designed for netbooks, N410 and N510 - for desktop computers, the last - Dual- Core." The link to the "available products" table on the Intel site (from the first post), and a search for a technical spec for the CPU on the Intel site don't produce much. The last sentence about dual core leads me to think it is a better D510 (from the table), but I'm trying to decide if netbooks with the N510 are going to be better than the D510, or the 330. The 330 is only 8w, the original D510 13w, if the N510 has markedly lower power drain that would result (could result) in better battery life. I'm making a choice for netbooks to be used in the field to gather data, and more battery life is worth at least some price, the people using them are unlikely to remember to use the car charger going from site to site. If you can share anything substantive about your decision-making, I'd appreciate it, especially if you happen to discover any actual facts, which seem to be scarce in the available literature on atom in general.
