After being spotted in an online store a little bit more than a month ago, Asus’ Eee PC 1225C netbook powered by Intel’s upcoming Atom Cedar Trail processors was made official by the Taiwanese company who just posted the netbook’s manual online.

Notebook Italia has caught a glimpse of this document and managed to save some images from the manual right before this was removed from Asus’ website.

These reveal the silhouette of the notebook which from the listing that made its appearance in November we know that it will sport a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N2600 dual core processor.

This chip is built using the 32nm production process and includes dual processing cores clocked at 1.6GHz with support for Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology and improved multimedia capabilities.

These are mostly due to the new PowerVR SGX545 graphics core that Intel has introduced in the Cedarview architecture, which can support hardware decoding for MPEG2, VC1, AVC, and H.264 Full HD content as well as for Blu-ray 2.0 content.

The same specs posted by the online store the last month also reveal that the Eee PC 1225C will be equipped with 2GB of system memory, a 320GB hard drive as well as the standard 802.11n Wi-Fi, low-res webcam, and optional Bluetooth 3.0.

The 11.6-inch screen has a native resolution of 1366x728 pixels and the operating system of choice is Windows 7 Home Premium.

Outside of the Eee PC 1225C that is based on Intel’s Cedar Trail Atom processors, Asus will also launch an AMD Brazos version of the netbooks that will be known as the Eee PC 1225B and which we detailed just yesterday.

A release date is not available yet, but we expect that both of these netbooks to be introduced during CES 2012.
