Intel has used Computex 08 to announce the roll out of the Diamondville variant of its  new Atom processor, which is broadly aimed at the UMPC sector. And that’s about all you need to know, unless you’re interested in the techie stuff – in which case, read on.

There are two chips in the line-up, the Atom N270 and the N230. The N270 is clocked at 1.6GHz, with a 533MHz front-side bus (FSB) and 512Kb of Level 2 (L2) cache. It has a thermal design power (TDP) of 2.5w. The N230, meanwhile, has the same clock speed (1.6GHz), FSB (533MHz) and L2 cache (512Kb) but has a TDP of 4w. There’s a bit more over at Intel but if you like such facts and figures, you know where to go.
