I would be surprised that the new reference HW design (nCDK/iCDK) for Meego 1.2 (and up) testing would be more capable, faster than the first Meego/harmattan device (N9?) if it has an Intel Atom in the first place of course.
Never good to test UX internally on a faster design that what you're pushing in the market ... User perception will be less in the field than internally ... Not really what one normally wants, I would think.

This item claims that the N9 will use a 1.2GHz Intel Atom processor:

also here is a few other links to confirm this:

But nokia usually never is in the front with new and state of the art hardware?
Just check the N8 for example, 620 mhz and its supposed to be a highend phone? Today we're talking about 1 ghz...

I'd say that the consensus is that there are two models (RM-680 Dali and RM-696 Lankku) aspiring to be THE N9, and for a fact those two are TI OMAP.

When I complained to Nokia last March about the lack of support for the Meamo OS and we were not getting Nokia supported meego, just after I got my device, I was told the following in an email:-
"As to you question: my understanding is that Meego will be a replacement platform that will be launched in future devices. The MeeGo is using a different hardware platform (Intel based x86 instead of the ARM) and thus it will not be compatible with the N900 device. However N900 will keep on receiving upgrades and is supported by Nokia."
I assumed at the time this person replying on behalf of Nokia had got thing wrongs but given the latest rumours perhaps the y were in fact correct??

Intel is the biggest brand name when it comes to 'computer' processors. How impressed will consumers be when offered a phone with 'the same' processor as their laptop/desktop PC and an 'Intel Inside' sticker on the box?
It's like saying: "All those other phones just use obscure, puny phone processors. This baby has the same CPU as your laptop."
If Nokia can ship the N9 running Meego with an Intel CPU and demonstrate more than three day's 'real life' smartphone use out of a regular size battery, I think I'd have to take my hat off to them.
