Laptop has been testing a review Asus Eee PC 1000HE unit and has discovered that despite having the newer 1.66-GHz Intel N280 CPU, it still uses the same old Intel 945GSE graphics found in older netbooks instead of the expected GN40 chipset. The screen shot above shows the DirectX diagnostics display tab on the 1000HE indicating a 945GSE chipset with a 950GMA chip.
An Asus rep confirmed production units will indeed ship with an N280 CPU and the older 945 chipset. However the Asus Eee PC 1000HE does play 720p video smoothly (as did the MSI Wind U120 and the Asus Eee PC1000), raising the question why do we need the GN40. Perhaps, for gaming?
