Intel Atom
Intel Atom is claimed by Intel as the smallest processor, built with new technology called a "hafnium infused 45 nanometer high-k silicon" which is abbreviated as 45 nanometer technology. Processor is less than 26 square millimeter of the 47 million transistor.
In addition to the smallest in size, the Atom is also claimed to consume resources in the small. that require less power from 1 watt to 2.5 watt. so it is suitable for mobile devices because of battery sparingly.
Products such as mobile phone netbook and nettop circulating at this time there have been equipped with the Intel Atom, a netbook is the device that is similar to a notebook only smaller-sized and used for special berinternet. such as Asus Eee PC 901, MSI Wind, Axioo Pico and Acer Aspire One. nettop are also made for browsing only nettop does not move the device, such as desktop nettop only for special functions of the Internet.
Intel Atom is a design architecture that is completely new, so do not adapt the existing processor architecture. energy efficient than the Atom also give a good performance for browsing, the Intel Atom has a FSB (Front Side Bus) speeds with up to 533 MHz, this processor also supports multi-threading. Multimedia and game performance as well as the support for Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3). But not three-dimensional games can run on the device mulus Atom. because the Atom is not made to play the game, but to the internet.
