Eee 900 to get an Atom processor?

By Nick Mansell on Mon 04 August 2008

Eee PC 900AStill not tired of the gazillion new Eee iterations Asus is knocking out? You are? Well perk up anyway. An image on the French site, Blogeee, suggests an Atom powered Eee 900 is on the way.

There's little more to it than an 'A' appearing after the usual Eee PC 900 moniker in the product shot. Still, that's all the fuel a rumour needs, right? Click through for more.

Word is the new 900A is, for all intents and purposes, a 901 in a 900's body, which wouldn't be such a bad combo - the 900's arguably nicer case, with the benefits of the more powerful Atom processor. Result.

A look over the 900A's details suggest there will be some other differences to the 901, aside from appearance. There's no Bluetooth for a start, it loses the quick-launch buttons from the 901's case and potentialy has slower Flash memory, a la the 904. Confused? You will be.

Intel shared details with the press about their discrete GPU chip - Larrabee at San Francisco recently. It was a shame that Intel didn't share the number cores in Larrabee and how they'll be different from the graphic chips used by Nvidia and AMD-ATI. http://www.webxact.co.uk/2008/08/larrabee-intel-details-share-details.html

"Between 16 and 48", apparently. Don't expect to see it in a netbook any time soon, though...
