Centrino Atom Explained with Pictures and OEMs
April 2nd, 2008 by Todd Haselton
By now you’re probably sick of trying to figure out what all these processor code names mean. Silverthorne? Is that for me? Menlow? What’s that?
Hey, we hear you, and we’re here to help. At the Intel Developers Conference today, Intel announced five new Atom chips, previously code-named Silverthorne, and we’ll help you understand what they mean and how they affect you.
We interviewed Pankaj Kedia, the director of global ecosystem programs for Intel’s ultra mobility group, to get the inside scoop on today’s announcements, and an explanation of the Atom and Atom Centrino platform. When we’re done, hopefully you’ll have a good grasp on the smallest processor to ever leave Intel’s manufacturing lines.
