Intel Atom

Intel Atom is made using a new technology called a "hafnium-infused 45 nanometer high-k silicon" shortened to 45 nanometer technology. The processor is the amount of less than 26 millimeters square contains 47 million transistors. Because this is what Intel claims it as the world's smallest processor. Intel Atom architecture that uses a completely new, and is not a derivative of an existing processor now.

In addition to his physical small, the Intel Atom is also small in power consumption. Atom will be used for mobile devices (mobile device) just need a power of less than 1 Wat - 2.5 Wat. Because the use of small power, the devices that use Intel's Atom be thrifty Batterai.

Products that use Intel atom moves is a new kind in the world of gadgets, yait netbook and nettop. Netbook included in ketegory sub notebook, which is a tool that has the same notebook, but has a smaller size and are used specifically for the surf. Among them are: Asus Eee PC 901, MSI Wind, Axioo Pico and Acer Aspire One.

Nettop was created specifically for the surf. Only nettop not trap move. Nettop of a desktop, it's just a special function to surf. Intel Atom in addition to saving energy could also claimed to have performed well for the purpose of surfing. Intel Atom has a FSB up to 533 MHz, supports multi-threading. Multimedia and gaming performance is assisted by the features Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3).

His conclusion, a gadget that uses the Intel Atom processor is enough to surf, and because of its small size and economical battery makes it highly mobile gadgets. But do not expect a lot of multimedia capabilities, heavy game, let alone 3D applications. Because once again emphasized, Intel Atom is made specifically for mobile internet, at least the first generation who are now on the market. Forward it, Intel will release dual-core version of Atom.
