Leaked dual-core Atom netbook... ???

Hey everyone,

I saw a leaked dual-core 1.6ghz atom netbook (Acer I believe) is supposed to launch on the 22nd with Win7 release...

My question is, is this the solution I've/we've all been looking for (small, yet robust truly portable computing power), or, should I wait for the upcoming much more powerful single core atom processor to come out (what was the same, the clarksfiled... someone help me out, drawing a ______ here)?

THANKS!!!!

:)

Edit: Just looked it up... the older original Atom N (more powerful) asd Z (less) are making way for new dual-cores and the Pineview with the GPU built right in.

The only thing I'm confused about... is if the "dual core" means simply cramming 2 Atom preccors into the same netbook, or, if it is a new architecture comprised of one chip with 2 cores?
