Demand for Atom cooling
Fudzilla —
Image CULV to take over? According to Digitimes, the demand for Intel's Atom processor is cooling down and it seems to be directly related to the introduction of the new CULV processors, at least in part, as these new systems offer much better performance than Atom based machines without increasing the weight too much. Another reason seems to be that people are waiting for better Atom based machines, although Digitimes claims that people are waiting for next generation solutions from Intel, we have a feeling most people are holding off because of the Nvidia ION platform and possibly to a degree for the Intel GN40 chipset. With Computex just over a month away we have a ...

Report: Demand for Atom processors slows
The Tech Report: News —
Report: Demand for Atom processors slows by Cyril Kowaliski 10:20 AM on April 27, 2009 The Atom's success may be waning at least for now. Quoting "market sources," DigiTimes reports that demand for Intel's low-cost, low-power processor has fallen because of two major factors: competition from full-sized laptops that have undergone price cuts and the arrival of cheap ultraportables based on Intel's CULV Core 2 processors. DigiTimes also attributes some of the netbook demand slowdown to consumers waiting for Intel's next-generation Atom CPU. The 45nm chip, code-named Lincroft, will have a graphics processor and a memory controller built into it. Lincroft should ...
VIA Looks to Triple its Stock Price by Cutting Capital
Maximum PC —
Following a board meeting last week, VIA has come to the conclusion that it needs to cut capital to NT$5.17 billion ($153.4 million USD), a 60 percent reduction. A shareholder meeting on June 19th will decide when the reduced capital will take place. As a result of the planned reduction, VIA said it expects shares to improve to $NT11.36, or almost three times as much as the current NT$4.50 share price.
VIA didn't say what effect the reduced capital would have on its Nano processor roadmap, which could put the heat on Intel in coming months. Citing un-named market sources, news and rumor site DigiTimes notes that demand for Intel's ...
Demand for Intel Atom processors slowing down
TechSpot —
It was bound to happen sooner or later, but the Atoms success may finally be waning after a long run of nonstop demand from netbook manufacturers. According to DigiTimes , the slowdown seems to be directly related to price-cut competition from low-end notebooks, as well as to the introduction of Intels new CULV processors, given that systems carrying these chips offer much better performance than Atom based machines without hurting portability or bumping the price too much. We first saw evidence of this from Intels recent quarterly results, which showed a surprise decline in revenue from Atom processors and the chipsets that drive them in part due to a ...
