Intel Atom mobile processors
Intel just launched a line of processor called Atom. Atom is the official product name for the couple of chips once codenamed Silverthorne and Diamondville. We showed you examples of ultra-mobile PCs (UMPC) that were using Silverthorne processors back in January. Diamonville will be used in “netbooks” – that’s how intel calls the Asus Eee PCs and other ultra-cheap mobile PCs the likes these days. Both chips are manufactured using the .45 nanometer process. The smaller the process and the cheaper it is to produce chips of a given size.
