MSI Wind

We promised MSI that we wouldn't reveal which processor was inside the Wind ultraportable in our hands-on write-up last week, but now the cat’s out of the bag – it’s an Intel Atom processor! D'oh, we knew you knew that anyway.

MSI will launch the Wind desktop and laptop PCs tomorrow at Computex and there will no doubt be lots more info then – be sure to check back at Mobile Computer for the full skinny. In the meantime, we have a few exclusive photos that show more of the MSI Wind’s specifications after the cut.

Windows XP System Properties for the MSI Wind reveals a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 single-core processor with hyper-threading (this chip isn't dual-core – yet...). Note the 'Silverthorne' ID rather than 'Diamondville' – this laptop actually uses a Diamondville chip, but it's a derivative chip that's based on the 45nm 'Silverthorne' low-power processor that Intel plans to spin off into a whole host of handheld devices.
