You know what would be really funny? There is no N9 and the next phone is called something totally different.

Even funnier is how no matter what comes out, it will be either applauded for being something that only Nokia could have put out or it will be relegated into the too late, too little category with very little in-between.

Or both. At the same time. "Too little, too late" is inevitable, no matter what they put out.

thanks, that explains why their code isn't in the meego repository, and shows that their platform is coming along nicely. so we can expect a meego phone from them too eventually...

The Moorsetown chips are basically Intel Atoms built on a smaller die and clocked from 1.2GHz to 1.5GHz, while maintaining a lower battery consumption.

Medfield is the successor (to Moorsetown) and they're supposed to try to improve battery consumption and/or improve performance. They can clock above 1.5GHz (perhaps even to 2.0GHz!).

You do know Intel said no Medfield devices (I believe until 2012). It is the Moorsetown platform that will be produced and sold in 2011. Also Nokia said the N900 successor/first MeeGo phone/N9 will ship in 2011. Thank you, my logic is amazing

Medfield is supposed to be out this year actually. Intel just isn't talking about it yet. The CPU code name is Penwell btw. I think the fact that there is a bug report with attached powertop log showing a max clock speed of 1.6Ghz for the secret MeeGo 1.2 reference device is enough to prove that it is actually using a Penwell CPU. Moorestown, as you said, was only supposed to hit 1.5Ghz. Now, they've been testing these devices since Dec 1 or so, how long does it take Intel to go from engineering sample to production? It takes AMD about 5 months to do it for their Bulldozer CPU, the only info I could find quickly. So, I will optimistically wait for a May release
