Intel readying 2GHz, ultra low-power Atoms

From Electronista -

Intel will be launching two new Atoms soon. The first, the Z550, will boost the maximum clock speed to 2GHz without affecting peak thermal power ceiling of 2.4W. It will keep the same 533MHz bus and 512K of Level 2 cache.

The second, the Z515, will be for small platforms like MIDs and should consume a near cellphone-like level of power. It can peak at 1.2GHz and use an already-low 1.4W of power but can alternately run as low as 800MHz and peak at just 0.65W. In this mode it would use just 0.16W of energy in typical conditions. It uses a slower 400MHz system bus and a 100MHz slower graphics core.
