Intel will soon start shipping the latest version of its Atom processor according to a Chinese language report at HKEPC.

The Z550 will become the fastest Atom chip on the netbook and MID market at 2GHz whilst retaining the previous Z540 model's 2.4W TDP.

Set to launch in April, the new chip will feature 512KB of L2 cache and a front side bus speed of 533MHz.
