From Gafno -
Intel’s upcoming low-cost Diamondville notebook processor will break from Intel’s multi-core strategy and will primarily be a single-core processor.
Intended for use in ultraportables like the Asus Eee PC, the Diamondville features low power and low cost. A single core means less transistors and lower power consumption.
Because of this extreme emphasis on cost, Diamondville will appear in ultra-low-cost notebooks and to a lesser extent–at least initially–in desktops. Intel refers to the low-cost notebook design as “netbook” and estimates the pricing for these devices will go as low as $250. Performance is expected to be commensurate with the Pentium-M.
There will be one exception to the single-core designs: a desktop version of Diamondville will be dual-core. That platform will come with two Diamondville processor models: a dual-core CPU, whose specifics are currently unknown, and the 230, a single-core CPU running at 1.6GHz with a 533-MHz front-side bus and 512KB cache. The Shelton’08 for notebooks will include a single-core Diamondville, the N270.
