Atom: Intel's new mobile processor & platform
William Henning - Monday, March 3rd, 2008 | 12:49PM (PST)


Marketers choosing a sensible name - news at 11.

Intel has named their new mobile processor and platform (formerly known as Silverthorne and Diamondville) the "Atom" and "Centrino Atom".

The Atom is made with Intel's 45nm Hi-k metal gate process, and information on the net suggests that it will run at 1.6GHz with 512KB of L2 cache, with a 4W thermal envelope.

I think they used Atom a bit early, would have worked in 10 years when cpu's are literaly as big as atoms.

Ya, they really have the next 10 years of naming down, if they want.

They could from Intel Atom to Intel Electron, to Intel Positron, down to Intel Quark, Intel Muon, Intel Meson.. they are all set!
