<p>Intel's next installment to the Atom platform will be a benefit to mobile platforms everywhere. The Atom N450 and its new chipset are being packaged up as the Pine Trail platform, intended to succeed the N270 + 945GSE combination that is most popular now. Netbooks based on Pine Trail were shown during this year's Computex, when it was speculated that Intel would be intent on a launch this year, even as <a href="https://www.techspot.com/news/35044-intel-to-launch-pine-trail-platform-in-october.html" target="_blank">early as October</a>.</p>
<p>A recent report from Digitimes indicates that many eager PC vendors are showing no progress towards that end, which could be a sign of Intel <a href="https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20090721VL200.html" target="_blank">delaying the launch of the revamped Atom platform</a> until sometime next year.</p>
<p>The speculated reasons for a delay include Intel not wanting to impact the netbook market for the remainder of 2009, most of which is composed of older-generation Atom hardware.</p><p><a rel='canonical' href='https://www.techspot.com/news/35533-intel-may-delay-new-atom-cpus-until-early-2010.html' target='_blank'>Permalink to story.</a></p><p class='permalink'><a rel='canonical' href='https://www.techspot.com/news/35533-intel-may-delay-new-atom-cpus-until-early-2010.html'>https://www.techspot.com/news/35533-intel-may-delay-new-atom-cpus-until-early-2010.html</a></p>
