The New Intel Atom processor Experience with Netbook
Did you know that the Intel Atom processor has powered nearly all the netbooks since they first began appearing on your shelves? It's true. And now, the Intel Atom processor is better than ever.
By enabling a small, sleek, attractive design, it delivers basic performance and long battery life so your customers can stay connected to people and information while they're on the go.
What's New
The original Intel Atom processor and its predecessor (code-named Pine Trail) were built on Intel's 45 nm processing technology. The new Intel Atom processor (code-named Cedar Trail-M for mobile solutions) moves to the 32 nm processing technology. This translates to new CPUs with great improvements and features your customers want and need. Take a look at the enhancements.
Key Performance Enhancements:
Better power management features—The new platform's power management features can potentially improve performance and battery life by 20 percent compared to the previous generation!1
Now with 4 threads—Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, all Intel Atom mobile CPUs have 4 threads. Your customers can get more done in less time!
Better battery life—Netbooks with the new Intel Atom processor offer up to 10 hours of battery life and weeks of standby.
