Atom is Intel specifically for the Internet with the launch of "ultra-low power", "size small" handling characteristics of the core, the current Atom adopt all the 45nm process technology, power consumption 2.5 watts in the following, in order to enhance the performance of some products also has Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, the performance increase of about 30%.
Internet access in our common among this, AtomN270 is the most widely configuration is also the most mature product, it has a 1.6GHz frequency and 512KB secondary cache, power consumption of 25 watts, usually with chipset Intel i945GSE constitute the best of prices than the combination. In addition, AtomZ530 also a more common core of Dell's line was particularly prevalent in this product are in the configuration AtomN270 it almost exactly the same specifications, but the lower power consumption Z530 (only 2 watts), package size and more small, it is worth mentioning that, AtomZ530 usually SCH integrated chipset with the emergence of the Intel chipset as part of SCH's accession to the H.264 format high-definition video decode capabilities, making the entertainment properties of the Internet increased dramatically.
The next stage, Intel will launch the AtomN280 the core, it will not only enhance the frequency to 1.66GHz, more specifically with its lower power consumption chipset GN40, as this chipset onboard GMA4000 integrated core also can support high-definition video decoding hardware.
