Intel Announces Intel Atom Brand for New Family of Low-Power Processors

Gigacore · 03-03-2008, 09:50 AM

The Intel® Atom™ processor will be the name for a new family of low-power processors designed specifically for mobile Internet devices (MIDs) and a new class of simple and affordable Internet-centric computers arriving later this year. Together, these new market segments represent a significant new opportunity to grow the overall market for Intel silicon, using the Intel Atom processor as the foundation. The company also announced the Intel® Centrino® Atom™ processor technology brand for MID platforms, consisting of multiple chips that enable the best Internet experience in a pocketable device. The Intel Atom processor is based on an entirely new microarchitecture designed specifically for small devices and low power, while maintaining the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo instruction set compatibility consumers are accustomed to when using a standard PC and the Internet. The design also includes support for multiple threads for better performance and increased system responsiveness. All of this on a chip that measures less than 25 mm², making it Intel’s smallest and lowest power processor yet.(1) Up to 11 Intel Atom processor die -- the tiny slivers of silicon packed with 47 million transistors each -- would fit in an area the size of an American penny. These new chips, previously codenamed Silverthorne and Diamondville, will be manufactured on Intel’s industry-leading 45nm process with hi-k metal gate technology.

Cool, so now my dream of a Sony Ericsson XPeria X1 with a virtual keypad is coming close.

Mods will sue u

thinking that u guys are doing it purposefully to inflate ur post count. Instead do comment on topic.

Awesome news its grt step by Intel in MID platform now working in handheld devices and mobile will doesnt cost much timelike before due to their low rersponsivity but now due to increased performance sure there's huge boost up in performance.

Once in a while is OK.. But just posting "Thanks for the info" in EVERY thread would not be tolerated
