eWeek discusses rumors that an AMD powered netbook with a dual core CPU is coming from Asus. Currently my netbook of choice is the Gateway LT3100 with Windows 7 64 bit and Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit upgraded to 4gb running on it. If Asus put out a dual core model that got at least 3 hours of battery life I would be highly tempted, and reportedly this one gets 4.

Asus reportedly launched the Asus Eee PC 1201T at an event in China, and Netbook Italia is reporting its specs as including not an Intel Atom processor, like most netbooks, but a 1.6GHz Advanced Micro Devices “Congo” dual-core MV40 processor. It’s also said to have 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive with online storage, an ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics chipset and a 12.1-inch display with a resolution of 1,366 by 768 pixels.
