and found a "Z510" which is low power single core, and "D510" high power dual core.


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.

Robert.
