The other features of the processor include Integrated Graphics with Graphics Base Frequency of 200 MHz, Intel Hyper Threading Technology, Intel 64, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, Thermal Monitoring Technologies, Execute Disable Bit

Intel Atom N450 and N455 are exactly same except for support for DDR3 in N455. And since N455 was released after N450 (Previous quarter), the netbooks carrying the N455 are usually better.  Whereas the N475 is a faster processor it also doesnt add much performance boost to be considered as an major upgrade and  in terms of Price vs Performance N455 is better than N475 . And it is newer model than N450, it takes this battle easily.
