Intel wraps up ‘best first quarter ever’ by teasing new dual-core Atoms for Q2

Android support for Moorestown isn’t the only morsel of Intel news to come out today. In an earnings call today that kicked off with word of a 288 percent year-over-year net income increase — its “best first [fiscal] quarter ever” reportedly — Intel CEO Paul Otellini said, “the next innovation coming out on Atom is dual core, which comes out in the second quarter.” Given dual core Atoms already exist for nettops, we’re gonna guess he’s referring specifically to netbooks. That jibes pretty well with what we heard about the supposed D510 remake as N500. Guess we’ve got something to look forward to in the netbook category over the next few months.
