Atom processor

Atom processor to know the details of the brief.

Is expensive and not practical platform for a new generation of mobile network equipment (MID, Mobile Internet Device) is very popular in recent mobile, lightweight portable, easy day-to-day office.With the size of the reduced cooling of the product must be taken into account.Fever as a major processor of course, need to do to protect the technological innovation.Intel In early March 2008 released a new family of low-power processor, called Atom.
Intel Atom processor is Intel's history of the smallest and least-power processor.Atom based on a new microprocessor architecture, special For small devices designed to reduce power consumption products, but also maintained with the Core 2 Duo instruction set compatibility, the product also supports multi-threaded processing.And all this is integrated in the area of less than 25 mm2 of chip , Including 47,000,000 transistors.11 and this was an area the size of the chip is equal to one cent coins area.
Fact Atom processor is what we called the “Silverthrone” and the “Diamondville”.Atom based on 45 nanometer Technology and hi-k technology.Products for the thermal design power of 0.6 watts to 2.5 watts, but the frequency of the processor can reach 1.8GHz.At present, the mainstream Core 2 Duo processor thermal design power -35 To 25 watts watts.
Launch of Intel Atom is based on the knowledge of the market.Intel that appeared on the market today for low-power is available on the Internet and mobile computer equipment ( “netbooks”), as well as access to the Center for the Application Desktop computer ( “nettops”) demand, and the next few years, significant growth.Atom processors to meet the market demand.
With Atom processor corresponding to the entire platform, Intel said its The “Intel Centrino Atom processor technology” (Intel Centrino Atom Processor Technology), the platform is before you are more familiar with the “Menlow”.'s Platform includes a complete set of Atom processors, wireless LAN, including the integrated graphics Low-power chipset, as well as thin and light design.Atom is the intel on portable computers or for the development of the UMPC processor
