Intel (NASDAQ: INTEL) CEO Paul Otellini has confirmed that the company will introduce a dual-core Atom processor this quarter. Additional details remain scarce at the moment; a spokeswoman has declined to reveal whether the dual-core Atom processors will be positioned towards netbooks or smaller desktops. It must be pointed out that the latest processor in the Atom product line was just released in February. Intel clearly sees a lot of potential in its Atom platform and is keen to boost the performance of the power-efficient chips. Article
