Intel is thinking about the future of its netbook/nettop platforms and the famous Atom line has a successor. Pine Trail is the new codename that we’ll have to get used to. The platform will use the Pineview processor which also incorporates the memory controller and the GPU. That translates into a lower power consumption which might result in an even more efficient netbook. The Pine Trail platform will only be available in the last quarter of the year so we have a long wait ahead.
