Intel® Atom™

The Intel® Atom™ processors are based on an entirely new microarchitecture that is optimized for small size and minimum power consumption while providing good performance. The N270 processor (code name Diamondville) used in the APC620 and PPC700 has a TDP value (Thermal Design Power - the maximum power consumption of a processor) of only 2.5 W at a clock frequency of 1.6 GHz, which is less than a Celeron® M running at 600 MHz. In spite of this fact, its performance is significantly higher than a Pentium® M 1.1 GHz. The N270 is manufactured using advanced 45 nm technology. The target markets are Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), Ultra Mobile PCs (Netbooks) and embedded applications in industrial environments.
