Intel officially launched the N470 this morning. It’s the 1.83Ghz Atom CPU for the Intel Pinetrail netbook platform.
Today Intel introduced the Intel® Atom™ processor N470. This new, faster Atom processor for netbooks has integrated graphics built directly into the CPU to help enable improved performance and smaller, more energy-efficient designs for the popular netbook category. The single core Atom processor runs at 1.83GHz, with 512k of L2 cache and DDR2-667 support. Major OEMs are expected to introduce systems based on this processor over the coming months to further differentiate their netbook offerings with a higher frequency to deliver additional responsiveness for online and basic computing tasks.
Interestingly, Sascha (follow him at CeBIT on Twitter) sent this twitpic in from CeBIT a few minutes ago which highlights two more CPUs. The N455 and N475. I wonder if these are the Broadcom-enabled versions of the platform?
Update: These are DDR3-enabled versions of the CPU.
Stay tuned for more from CeBIT and join us in the studio for regular live updates. (Http://www.meetmobility.com/live)

The new N455/N475 processors will be compatible with DDR3 memory. As far as I can tell, all Atom processors are compatible with the Broadcom video decoder.

Yeah. Had spotted that over at Netbooknews.
Makes complete sense now I think about it!

i wonder what the speed/price increase ratio is with DDR3
