DigiTimes reports Intel is working on several new Atom processors, including dual-core models and versions with DDR3 support.

Intel launched its second-generation Atom N450 and N470 processors in January 2010 and is planning to launch DDR3-supporting Atom N455 and N475 shortly.

In June, Intel is set to reveal more details about its third-generation netbook platform as well as launching the dual-core Atom N500 series, the sources noted.

Asustek Computer is already preparing to launch an Atom N500-based netbook in the third quarter with a price set at about NT$18,000 (US$575), the sources added.
