According to Digitimes, the demand for Intel's Atom processor is cooling down and it seems to be directly related to the introduction of the new CULV processors, at least in part, as these new systems offer much better performance than Atom based machines without increasing the weight too much.

Another reason seems to be that people are waiting for better Atom based machines, although Digitimes claims that people are waiting for next generation solutions from Intel, we have a feeling most people are holding off because of the Nvidia ION platform and possibly to a degree for the Intel GN40 chipset.

With Computex just over a month away we have a feeling that we'll see a lot of new machines based on all of the platforms that people are waiting on, but after that it's just a question of how fast these products can enter the market.

For now, it's said that Intel is shifting its focus towards the Chinese market to "offload" some of its current Atom products.
