Intel® Atom™ Processor-Intel's smallest chip. Built with the world's smallest transistors

Wow! Just came to know about Intel Atom Processor! Intel Atom is the brand name for a line of ultra-low-voltage x86 and x86-64 CPUs (or microprocessors) from Intel, designed in 45 nm CMOS and used mainly in Netbooks, Nettops, and MIDs. The Atom Z series is code-named Silverthorne and the Atom N series is code-named Diamondville. As of June 2009, the most used chips in the Netbook retail market are Z520, Z530, and N270.Have a look at its specifications

The Intel® Atom™ processor is Intel's smallest processor, built with the world's smallest transistors and manufactured on Intel's industry-leading 45nm Hi-k Metal Gate technology. The Intel Atom processor was purpose-built for simple, affordable, netbooks and nettops.

Intel Atom processor-based netbooks and nettops offer both an easy-to-use mobile device with simple interfaces and targeted performance for a good online experience. They are rugged and compact in design, and offer the freedom and flexibility of wireless connectivity¹.

Great for Internet, these devices are an affordable option for education, photo and video viewing, social networking, voice over IP, e-mail, messaging, browsing, and numerous other Internet activities and basic applications. (Read More)
