Intel Announces Atom

- Rob Bushway

Silverthorne and Menlow have officially been named Atom and Centrino Atom, respectively

Press Release:

The Intel® Atom™ processor will be the name for a new family of low-power processors designed specifically for mobile Internet devices (MIDs) and a new class of simple and affordable Internet-centric computers arriving later this year. Together, these new market segments represent a significant new opportunity to grow the overall market for Intel silicon, using the Intel Atom processor as the foundation. The company also announced the Intel® Centrino® Atom™ processor technology brand for MID platforms, consisting of multiple chips that enable the best Internet experience in a pocketable device.

At first I thought the name Atom would be a good idea for Intel’s new chip range, but the more I think about it the more I hope that their chips won’t actually be anything like an atom and actually have some substance!

Maybe we'll hear about new devices tomorrow at cebit, but so far its looks to me like Intel doesn't have any new hardware running these devices to announce
