Asustek plans to launch a new version of the Asus Eee PC equipped with Intel’s Atom processor this June, PC World reports.

According to company’s CEO, the Atom-based Eee PC low cost ultraporable laptop will be released at Computex trade show in Taipei.

The Intel Atom processor is designed to provide low power consumption, running at a thermal design power of 0.6 watts to 2.5 watts. Clock speeds range from 800MHz to 1.86GHz, depending on CPU model. The chip is aimed at small computers, such as Mobile Internet Devices, Ultra-Mobile PCs, and budget mini-laptops.
