MSI Wind – Dual-Core

December 29th, 2008

Filed under: Hardware

I may be wrong about the dual-core thing, since I can’t seem to find any such documented cases of Wind using an Atom dual-core processor. But I believe this images speak for themselves.

EDIT: I am wrong.. ak and werebunny pointed out that Atom’s Hyper-Threading that’s why it’s showing 2 CPU’s. Thanks dudes!

    The Atom has hyper-threading. That’s why it’s showing as two cores.

    The Atom is a hyper-threading processor and not dual core. Dual core atoms aren’t even released yet.

    The Atom 330 is the dualcore version, it has been around for a while but has not found its way into subnotebooks as the power draw is too much. They are readily available in mini itx form.

    The wind uses the 270, the single core hyperthreaded model. If it had the dual core atom in it then it would appear to be four processors.

    learn about hypher-threading before dumb assumptions.
    Look on wikipedia for cpu specs
