While desktop and laptop computers have been enjoying dual, quad and even higher core processors for some time now, netbooks have generally been left in the dust. Of course, they aren’t without a processor as that wouldn’t even make sense but they are without any sort of multi core processor and this may be a deal breaker for some.
Luckily, Intel has pushed out a press release today that lets us know dual core Atom processors have begun making their way into netbooks. Unfortunately, we don’t know exactly which netbooks will have these processors just yet, but we can tell you that Acer, ASUS, Fujitsu, Lenovo, Samsung, LG, MSI and Toshiba, just to name a few, will all have dual core touting netbooks by year’s end.
While you probably won’t be swapping your Core i7 processor touting desktop for a netbook anytime soon, it’s nice to know that hardware manufacturers are working to beef the little machines up a bit more.
