Running at 1.66 GHz, these processors support four threads, with 1 MB of L2 cache, 8.5W TDP and DDR3 667, helping spur further innovation around netbooks and other devices requiring the low power footprint of the Intel Atom architecture. Intel claims the N570 has the same battery life as single-core Intel Atom processor.
