What the Atom D410 is
The Intel Atom D410 is a single core Pineview nettop processor on BGA 559. It runs one Bonnell core with Hyper-Threading for two threads at 1.667 GHz with no turbo, backed by 512 KB of L2 cache. Power is rated at 10 W on a 45 nm process. Intel lists January 4, 2010 as the launch date.
The D410 is the nettop twin of the netbook N450 at the same clocks with a higher 10 W envelope and GMA3150 graphics at 400 MHz for desktop displays. Against the dual thread N455 it matches clocks with desktop I/O. Note on socket: the cpu_list row lists BGA 437, but Intel and Wikipedia table data place the D410 on FC-BGA 559, so this page files it under BGA 559 with Pineview.
Memory is single-channel DDR2 up to 4 GB on desktop boards, double the netbook ceiling.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The Atom D410 is soldered to the board in BGA 559 and cannot be replaced. Nettop repair means board replacement.
The NM10 Express chipset pairs over DMI, so firmware must list the SLBMH sSpec. The CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide covers soldered rules.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
Memory is single-channel DDR2 up to 4 GB on D series boards, fixed per design.
PCIe comes from the NM10 chipset. Board wiring decides slot options.
Cooling is a small fan or spreader drawn for 10 W in the nettop chassis.
Upgrade paths
There is no CPU upgrade path on BGA 559 because the chip is soldered. A dual core D510 fits the same package class where the vendor offers that board.
Frequently asked questions
