What Is Intel Atom Processor?

delivi
Atom is the new family of processors for Mobile Internet Devices.

It is based on an entirely new micro architecture designed specifically for small devices and low power, while maintaining the Intel Core 2 Duo compatibility. It supports for multiple threads.

It will be the Intel's smallest and lowest power processor. It will be manufactured on Intel's 45nm process technology.

The chips will consume about 0.6 - 2.5 watt and can scale up to 1.8 GHz clock speeds.

I was gearing myself up for a nice scientific response then!

but this is equally as interesting, i dont know how many of you know but google and apple are either independently, or jointly looking into "cloud" computing (i think its called that) In which you wont have anything stored on your hard drive except perhaps an OS (But even that will be minimal and perhaps not on the hard drive) Instead all of your data will be stored on the internet in large servers ran by google similar to the way google docs works now. All you will hold in your hand will be a tiny machine with a CPU, some RAM and a hard drive big enough to hold the protocols and software needed to make an internet connection.

The reason i mention this is because these new processors could pave the way for such a scheme, not to mention the possibilities for extending laptop/PDA battery life and CPU power.

It will be interesting to see the battery life of laptops in the next year or so.

The "Cloud Computing would be useful for the third world laptops because they have basically no hard drive, just enough to run firefox and maybe a word proccessor. I however wouldn't buy anything but an ipod from apple because their software is flawed. I hve had 2 installation issues with itunes 7 for instance :@

    Everything we've ever "known" is wrong. (8)
    I was just ponderings of the universe today and I thought to myself. If we have never seen an atom
    because it's far too small to see. How do we know that they are even real. I mean there could be
    this theory that is completely fool proof. The periodic table of elements might work perfectly and
    all the groups and rows and stuff might work perfectly but what if the atom is nothing like what we

  3. Processor Modes
    (1)
    QUOTE Processor modes refer to the various ways that the processor creates an operating
    environment for itself. Specifically, the processor mode controls how the processor sees and manages
    the system memory and the tasks that use it. There are main three different modes of operation. The
    8088 chip could only address 1 MB of system memory, and the original versions of Disk Operating
    System created to work on it were designed with this in mind. This is called real mode. When a
    processor is running in real mode, it has the advantage of speed, but it otherwise accesses ....

    and chips for servers at very low prices. If the EU's investigation proves Intel are guilty

    ok, I know that I have quite a number of real crazy overclockings before. like clocking a 2.4GHz

    Everything was still normalk even after the crazy overclocking....Can you believe that. I do
    respect the Intel Northbridge chipsets as they really allow you to do some very kool clocking to
    your processor, RAM and Northbridge. I have used a number of Pentium IV class processors and
    motherboards (6 pairs to be exact) within a quite a very short interval of time (within the past 1 ....
