Intel's new Pineview chipset will be shipping out to netbook manufacturers in Q4 2009 and although this means that we will doubtfully see any netbooks shipping with the new chipset until after the holidays, it is nice to hear that the chipset is making is on track without any delays. For those that have missed [...]
The only bad thing about the first version of Pineview is that it won't be HD capable. The GPU/CPU can playback 720p when pushed but 1080p playback will be impossible. Intel still wants manufacturers to rely on either the Nvidia ION gpu or Broadcom's Crystal HD accelerator for HD video playback. It looks like Intel isn't going to release an HD capable solution, for netbooks, until Q2 2010.
