"This is our smallest processor built with the world's smallest transistors. The Intel® Atom™ processor is based on an entirely new design, built for low power and designed specifically for a new wave of Mobile Internet Devices and simple, low-cost PC's. This small wonder is a fundamental new shift in design, small yet powerful enough to enable a big Internet experience on these new devices. We believe it will unleash new innovation across the industry."
the Intel Atom processor provides:
- Performance for a great internet experience in a range of sub 1 watt to 4 watt thermal power envelope based on industry leading benchmarks (EEMBC) and web page rendering performance
- Greater energy efficiency for mobile devices enabled by incredibly low average power and idle power, scaling performance from 800MHz to 1.86GHz
- Power-optimized front side bus of up to 533MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applicationsĪ
- Scalable performance and increased power efficiency with multi-threading support²
- Improved performance on multimedia and gaming applications with support for Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3)
- Improved power management with new Deep Power Down (C6) enabled on the Intel® Atom™ processor Z5xx series for MIDs, and extended C4 states enabled on Intel® Atom™ processor N270 for netbooks, in addition to non-grid clock distribution, clock gating, CMOS bus mode, and other power saving architectural features
- Low TDP enabled by improved power management technologies delivering high performance to run the real Internet and a broad range of software applications³
