Herald Sun | September 24, 2008

"The new Atom processor is Intel's smallest chip. Instead of being bigger and faster - the normal speak in techland - Atom is Intel's cheapest chip, built with the world's smallest transistors."
“The Atom has been tuned for the specific requirements of powering devices such as the netbook and maybe even the next-generation iPhone.”
“These devices require a processor that draws low power, but are capable enough to run a simple operating system so users can surf the web and check email."
