The Pine Trail is one package of the chips that are built around the Pineview, which is an upcoming version of Atom processor and it includes an integrated memory controller as well as the graphics chip. By combining this memory controller and the graphics with processor, Intel had been able to reduce their current Atom chip package from the number of three chips to two that is Pineview and the Tiger Point chipset, which means that the chips would take up less space and would also consume less power as compared to the current generation.

Intel has hoped that the new chips will be generating more demand for the Atom based desktops, which is called the nettops.

Noury Al-Khaledy who is the general manager of the netbooks and nettops at Intel, has said in an interview that they are going to ship more than 5 million of the nettop based units easily this year, and would be doing far better than this number during the next year.

But even one big jump in the nettop shipments during the next year would mean the sales to lag far behind the demand for the netbooks, which the IDC expects will top the 30 million units during the next year.
