Earlier this week Intel took the wraps off a couple of exciting new mobility advancements in the world of netbook and nettop PCs. First on the list is the first public disclosure of the next-generation Intel Atom platform, codenamed Pine Trail. With this new technology Intel is hoping to continue to keep a firm hold on the netbook market that has grown from basically zero to tens of millions of units in just a couple years time. Even though VIA's Nano processor was the first offering for just systems, the Intel Atom CPU was able to gain significant momentum and support and currently has nearly 300 design wins across the segment.
