The big contender soon will be the ARM processors.  There's a big push
to get netbooks with ARM processors out on the market and a few
manufacturers are doing just that in 2010.  The only thing is Windows
doesn't run on ARM, so the only alternative there is Linux, and most
likely the distro of choice will be Android or Google Chrome OS.

ARM processors are known for their very low power consumption without
compromising on processing power.  They are less power hungry than the
Intel Atom and CULV (consumer ultra low voltage) processor families.
The low price of ARM processors is also attractive as they are cheaper
than even Intel's Atom chips.  Lower priced netbooks do better in the
sales department.  People love low cost netbooks, sales figures don't
lie.
