The Intel Atom processor for New Net Devices, Low-Cost PCs


Intel today introduced five new IntelAtom processors and Intel Centrino Atom processor technology for Mobile World Wide Web Devices (MIDs) and embedded computing solutions. The technology package includes the Intel Atom processor (formerly codenamed “Silverthorne”) plus a single-chip with integrated graphics called the Intel System Controller Hub that enables PC-like capabilities, an uncompromised Web experience and faraway battery life in smaller devices that can fit in your pocket. Manufacturers around the world are planning to ship Intel-based

MIDs beginning that summer.
