Fudzilla leaks some more info on the next generation Intel Atom processor due in 2011. A closer estimate of its arrival date has been set to the second half of 2011, most likely in Q3 or Q4.

Some bits and pieces of info we have heard before, but here’s what we know so far: It’ll have full HD support with HDMI and DisplayPort support too, be based on a 32nm process with a 5W TDP making it possible to go fanless and it’ll have DDR3 support. Not much is known on actual speed, but last reports suggest an incremental speed improvement nothing major.

Intel Cedarview 2011 Atom platform detailed: 32nm & DDR3 support

We’re only now seeing the first Pineview netbooks – based on Intel’s next-gen Atom platform – begin to show themselves, but details are already emerging about the silicon company’s intentions for the platform after that.  Come 2011, say Fudzilla, Intel are expected to out Cedarview, a 32nm processor with a new, DDR3-compatible memory controller.

That DDR3 compatibility is particularly interesting, as it will put Atom’s RAM support on a par with what Intel’s Core i7 – Bloomfield processors can utilize.  However Intel will limit supported memory to single-channel sticks, though you’ll at least be able to use two DIMMs; that, say Fuzdilla, is confirmed for the nettop platform, but it’s likely to be the same situation for netbooks.

Pine Trail processors are expected to ship in early 2010 – with some sources saying as early as January – with the Atom N450 and N470 processors on sale throughout next year and into 2011.  No specific release details for Cedar Trail processors are known.

Lenovo T410s leaks out, features not one but two ThinkLights

Two Lenovo leaks in one day? Our cup runneth over. It feels like we just played with the T400s and the T400s touch just yesterday, but we did see some leaked slides forecasting a T410s for January back in June, so these images are basically right on schedule. Big changes include a couple more USB ports here and there, some cleaned-up design, and — big news — the addition of a second display-mounted ThinkLight keyboard light. That’s simply decadence, friends. No word on specs, pricing or a release date, but we’ve got a feeling we’ll be finding out more real soon.

Hey, what’s this attractive looking dude? Well, from the looks of it, it’s Gateway’s not-yet-announced or previously spied tablet PC. A tipster with access to a seemingly infinite number of photos of this bad boy also shot over a spec sheet of the purported EC18T, and here’s what we’re looking at. This 11.6-incher is going to boast an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM, a Mobile Intel GS45 Express graphics chipset, and it’ll run either Windows 7 Home Premium or Basic. Of course, none of this is official information, and we have no info on pricing or availability yet. Hit the gallery after the break for a plethora of photos.

Intel’s plans for the burgeoning “ultra-thin” notebook sector have been leaked, courtesy of talkative notebook makers, who have tipped three new processors set to arrive in Q4 2009.  The new CPUs – two of which are dual-core chips – will slot in underneath the existing Core 2 Duo SU9000, which will stay at the top of the range, and include the Core 2 Duo SU7000 and the SU4000.

Meanwhile the existing Intel Celeron in the ultra-thin range will be surplanted by a Celeron SU3000 chip, with the Celeron 700 remaining the entry-level chip for budget models.  No word on which manufacturers have signed up to use the processors, as yet.
