Intel’s ‘Atom’ Chips

Intel, the leading Silicon Chip Maker has recently launched a series of Chips for mobile PCs called ATOM that is based on the Intel’s micro architecture. Some of these Atom Chips are as follows

. The much waited new market entrant SilverThorne is said to be one amongst them. It is to be implemented in next generation mobile Internet Devices.

. DiamondVille is another one that is to be used in Laptops that would ultimately bring down the cost of them.

Intel has definitely felt the pressure from AMD, it’s nearest rival. Atom series is just another addition to its core 2, Xeon, Celeron, Centrino range of chips.
