In 2009, Samsung will equip a Nano chip for Laptop

Samsung will release the NC20 ultraportable laptops equipped with the ultra-small Nano processor. This is a technology developed by computer microchip maker Via Technologies (Taiwan).

Samsung NC20 is designed not like a mini laptop or a complete laptop but the product will meet the needs of today's consumers about the low power consumption of ultraportable laptops.

The product is compact with a 12.1-inch screen, weighs 1.5kg and is expected to sell for 642USD. The NC20 will be equipped with a U2250 Nano processor (1.3GHz clock speed), 1GB RAM and 160GB hard drive.

It is expected that the product will be released first next year and will likely lead the way in the power consumption of Via's Nano-equipped laptops. Currently, social networks are officially hunting for the NC20, but both Via and Samsung remain calm with the 'no comment' policy.

Since the introduction of the Nano processor, Via has always emphasized the highlights of the processor's performance and power consumption, but is extremely small. This made the difference of Nano chips compared to Intel's Atom chips. Via chip maker tried to deliver products to the netbook market to share market share with Intel in Santa Clara, California. However, Vaio was unsuccessful because in this market most of the netbooks were equipped with Atom processors from Intel and Vaio that could not compete.
