Faced with ARM and Fusion, break the price of Intel Atom

Having enjoyed an almost exclusive market of netbooks, Intel Atom processors bear the brunt of competition from AMD platform Brazos. Worse, the netbook market is itself attacked by the emergence of the tablets for which the Atom is inadequate. Intel deign thus lowering the price of these future processors Atom Cedarview, up to 50%.

The current Atom Pineview M-N400, N500 are traded between $ 64 and $ 86 per thousand units. Future Cedarview N2600 and N2800-M (whose characteristics are unknown but should emulate those of D2500 and D2700 Atom) would be sold respectively $ 42 and $ 47. This decrease is expected to enable manufacturers to launch netbooks between $ 199 and $ 299.
