Intel’s Thunderbolt Data Transfer Technology

Thunderbolt is Intel’s new IO port/ data transfer technology with a speed of 10 Gbps which allows you to transfer full length HD movie in less than 30 seconds or can make a backup of MP3 which is playable continously about 8760 h in just ten minutes. This technology was first introduced during 2009 named Light Peak. It was designed to transmit data through thin glass cables as it is based on fiber optics.

The ports speed is based on Intel’s PCI Express since the port is powered by a controller chip which unites PCI Express and existing Display port protocols for transmitting data and video in both ways through a single cable. This data transfer technology is going to be first available on newly released Apple’s MacBook Pro Laptops which uses a mini display port jack which is compatible with all other existing display ports and adapters.

Intel Atom N450 vs N455 vs N475 Comparison

Intel Atom N450 : is a single core processor with a CPU speed of 1.66 GHz, 512 KB Cache, number of threads 2, 64 – bit instruction set and instruction set extensions like SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, bus/core ratio 10, 45 nm of Lithography, 5.5 W of max TDP  (Thermal Design Power/ Thermal Design Point – TDP – it is the maximum amount of power required by the cooling system to dissipate), 0.800 V – 1.175 V of VID voltage range, 2 GB max memory size, DDR2 – 667 memory type, one memory channel.

The other technologies of the processor include Embedded options, Integrated Graphics, Intel Hyper Threading Technology, Intel 64, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (technology which allows the processor to meet its required performance for its operation during minimal power draw and heat dissipation), Thermal Monitoring Technologies, Execute Disable Bit.

Intel Atom N455 : is a single core processor with CPU speed of 1.66 GHz, 512 KB Cache, number of threads 2, 64 – bit instruction set and instruction set extensions like SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, bus/ core retio 10, 45 nm Lithography, 6.5 W of max TDP, 2.5 GT/ s pf DMI, 2 GB of max memory size, DDR2/3 memory types and one memory channel.

The other technologies of the processor include Embedded options, Integrated Graphics with a Graphics Base Frequency of 200 MHz, Intel Hyper Threading Technology, Intel 64, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, Thermal Monitoring Technologies, and Execute Disable Bit.

Intel Atom N475 : is a single core processor with CPU speed of 1.83 GHz, 512 KB Cache, number of threads 2, 64 – bit intruction set and instruction set extensions like SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, bus/ core ratio 11, 45 nm Lithography, 6.5 W max TDP, 2.5 GT/s of DMI, 2 GB of max memory size, DDR2/3 memory types and one memory channel.

The other features of the processor include Integrated Graphics with Graphics Base Frequency of 200 MHz, Intel Hyper Threading Technology, Intel 64, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, Thermal Monitoring Technologies, Execute Disable Bit

Intel Atom N450 and N455 are exactly same except for support for DDR3 in N455. And since N455 was released after N450 (Previous quarter), the netbooks carrying the N455 are usually better.  Whereas the N475 is a faster processor it also doesnt add much performance boost to be considered as an major upgrade and  in terms of Price vs Performance N455 is better than N475 . And it is newer model than N450, it takes this battle easily.
