Recent data on the processor Atom N280, the supply of which, incidentally, started today, suggests that mobile device at its base, for example, Eee PC 1000HE, easily can handle video playback HD. However, when it comes to solving, 720p or 1080p, it all depends on the set of system logic, on which built mobile device.
It turns out, Atom N280 can be used with a set of logic GN40, but also with the 945GSE. However, in the second case of so-called Netbook from mainstream (for mass of users). With regard to a combination of Atom N280 + GN40, it is intended to be used in Netbook with improved configuration. By the way, the most significant difference between these versions of this power. If the total power consumption Atom N280 and 945GSE is about 8.5 W, the second case, the figure could reach 16.5 Watts.
Incidentally, the latest Netbook from ASUS, Eee PC 1000HE, built on Atom N280 and recruiting logic 945GSE, not GN40, as reported, and the Taiwanese company has denied such information. Now the most interesting: if the combination Atom N280 + 945GSE handle HD video in the resolution of 720p, it is quite possible that, together with GN40 this processor from Intel easily cope with a resolution of 1080p. According to some sources, GN40 is nothing like a set of logic GL40, which in turn is a modification of GM45, Intel is simply switched off and some of the functions of this set of logic to reduce power consumption. It is therefore not surprising that GN40 can decode video data recorded with the codec VC-1 and H.264. In the future, Intel intends to release specially for this segment of the market a new processor and a set of logic Pineview Tigerpoint, which are common TDP, not to exceed 7 Watts. According to the plan of Intel, their debut will be held in the IV quarter of this year.
