Nettop Reviews UK reports that Intel will launch a successor to their Intel Atom D510 nettop processor called the D525.  The new chip should offer better performance than it’s predecessor thanks to both a slight bump in speed (up to 1.8GHz) and compatibility with DDR3 memory.  Despite that the new chip is said to have the same 13W TDP rating and, according to Fudzilla, will be shipping sometime in the second quarter — so not too far off. Netbook Choice is also reporting the existence of the chip in a chart from Intel, but that chart pegs it at the same ‘ol 1.6GHz. We’re still inclined to think the 1.8GHz rating is correct, but we won’t be placing any bets until Intel makes things official. We’re just not the betting kind, really.
