Powered with Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz processor
Tweet-- Simmtronics Semiconductors Ltd, a manufacturer of Memory Modules, Motherboards and Graphics Cards takes immense pride to venture into Netbook segment with the announcement of the company's first Netbook, which is based on Intel Atom mobile CPU and will be available in the Indian market this year.
Simmtronics’ new compact and lightweight Netbook is powered by the incredibly small, amazingly smart Intel® Atom™ processor which delivers the performance needed to enjoy popular activities like streaming videos or music, emailing, web surfing or instant messaging. So, whether you’re at home, traveling or hanging out at a café, you can take the internet on the go with you inside a convenient Netbook. Designed specifically for your mobile computing needs, it provides the power of full-sized laptop–with the latest Intel® Atom™ processor –in a compact body with a 10.2-inch screen. It comes with Intel Atom processor N270 at 1.6 GHz core speed with 533 MHz AGTL+ front-side bus (FSB) and 2.5 watts thermal design power2 (TDP). Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology reduces average system power consumption. The enhanced low-power sleep states (C1E, C2E, C4E) are optimized for power by forcibly reducing the performance state of the processor when it enters a package low-power state. Designed specifically for mobile devices, it uses a brand new design structure the dynamic L2 cache sizing -that reduces electrical leakage in transistors-to conserve energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet.
