Intel Talks "Pineview" and Moblin v2.0

From DailyTech: Intel is the largest chipmaker in the world and dominates the CPU market. The company also holds the majority of the GPU market thanks to its integrated graphics processors that are inside most of the notebooks and netbooks on the current market.

Intel has unveiled its new Pineview Atom processors along with the associated Pine Trail chipset. The big news here is that Pineview integrates a memory controller and GPU onto a single piece of silicon. The Pineview processor is set to be available in Q4 2009.

Intel's Pineview platform will save computer builders money and consume less power thanks to a reduction in the number of chips from three in current Atom platforms to two with Pineview. Intel points out that despite having integrated graphics, Pineview will be compatible with the NVIDIA Ion platform and its GPU.
