Intel announces Atom brand for Silverthorne, Menlow
By Sumner
March 2, 2008 (IDG News Service)
Intel Corp.'s Silverthorne and Diamondville chips will be called Atom, and
the company's Menlow processor for ultramobile computers will be renamed
Centrino Atom when these products hit the market, according to a company
spokesman.
The creation of the new processor brand sets the stage for the tiny,
low-power chips' upcoming release and marks the opening salvo in a concerted
push by Intel to make ultramobile computers a mainstream product segment.
Several versions of the Atom processor are on track to be delivered to
during the first half of this year, according to Danny Cheung, an Intel
spokesman in Singapore.
The processors are made using Intel's 45-nanometer process and will run at
clock speeds up to 1.8 GHz. Slower versions will also be available, but
Intel isn't saying what the slowest clock speed will be. Pricing for the
chips has yet to be announced.
The chips, which measure less than 25 square millimeters, have a thermal
design power (TDP) of 0.6 to 2.5 watts. That number refers to the maximum
sustained power that users are likely to see with the chips, not the maximum
amount of power the chips can consume.
The small size of the Atom allows 2,500 of them to be produced on a single
300-millimeter silicon wafer. Intel can then sell them at a low price while
maintaining high margins.
While Intel hasn't announced a specific date for Atom's release, Mobile
Internet devices based on Centrino Atom will hit the market in the beginning
of the second quarter, Cheung said.
Mobile Internet device, or MID, is the term Intel uses to describe some, but
not all, devices that are generally referred to as ultramobile PCs.
Prototype MIDs shown by Intel typically include touch screens or slide-out
keypads, and the company said it envisions these devices running Linux
instead of Windows.
Centrino Atom will include a single-core Atom processor, formerly called
Silverthorne, as well as the Poulsbo chip set and a wireless chip set. Intel
has yet to announce the formal name of Poulsbo, which packs a Northbridge
chip set and a Southbridge chip set into a single package to reduce size and
power consumption.
Not all Atom processors will ship with Poulsbo. Some versions of the chip,
known by the code name Diamondville, will ship with two-chip chip sets.
These processors, which will be available in single-core and dual-core
versions, are intended for low-cost notebooks, such as Asustek Computer
Inc.'s Eee PC, and inexpensive desktops, respectively.
Intel refers to these devices as "netbooks" and "nettops" to differentiate
them from mainstream desktops and notebooks. To further separate these
product segments, Intel has set guidelines for device makers that limit the
features of Atom-based devices, preventing the chips from being used in
notebooks with a 15-in. screen instead of a Core 2 Duo processor, for
example.
Low-cost notebooks and desktops based on Atom will hit the market sometime
during the third quarter, Cheung said, adding that Intel also expects to see
demand for Atom processors in consumer electronics and embedded
applications.
Intel said it expects low-cost computers to appeal to first-time computer
buyers in emerging markets as well as users in more mature markets looking
for second computers.

A mio parere è meglio riportare il testo a cui punta il link, in quanto
quest'ultimo potrebbe modificare nel tempo.
Inoltre è una comodità in più il non dover cliccare sul link.

Saluti.
