A new CPU brand module will be launched in the nearby future, titled Atom, targeted at ultramobile devices aforementioned tiny PCs (think the Samsung Q1), and possible even to the extend of even smaller devices like handheld web browsers. Why Atom? Because atoms are small. Get it? Intel is a consort that, if nothing, is full of sophisticated humor. Atom might not meet a microprocessor but also a full architecture that specifies extremely low power consumption.
Specifically, an Atom chip module will consume between 0.6 and 2.5 watts of power, whereas a Core 2 Duo laptop consumes 35 watts. To tack matters further, “Centrino Atom” devices also include integrated graphics, a wireless radio, and a factor that Intel must approve for the Atom logo.Atom is so small that 11 of the CPUs would fit in an area size of a penny. But besides low power consumption activity (and, be advised, substantially modify performance) of the chip, they do deal much common with the upcoming Penryn (aka Centrino 2) laptop and screen CPUs. Preferable they will still be using the same manufacturing technologies, some of which have been the key to knockdown power consumption and bringing up performances in the next-gen chips.

It would lead to wider acceptability and use.
Wow…. Intel is always coming with a new idea. I just wonder what will AMD take on this?
