Nein – Asus R2H not with Core Duo CPU

Posted on 02 June 2006 by Chippy



There’s a lot of news today about the Asus R2H UMPC being listed at WinHEC with a Core Duo CPU.

ASUS Germany have contacted me to say “NEIN” The story is not true.

It makes sense. The CoreDuo is 1) a higher power part and 2) very very expensive.

As far as I know, the Asus is due out with GPS (option I think), fingerprint reader, single sign-on software, camera and lower price which will make it a great UMPC.

There is a new version of the Celeron though thats based on the Yonah 65nm architecture (used in Core Due and Solo parts.) I wonder….
