Good news for netbook users - netbooks just got faster and battery life just got better. Intel has released its first dual-core mobile Atom processor.
Note: This isn't the first dual-core Atom to be found in netbooks - The Asus EeePC 1201N featured the D330 1.6GHz nettop part.
Performance seems to be up by around 20% according to various makers, and battery life is improved by some 15 - 20 minutes.
Expect netbooks sporting this new silicon to appear in September.
