Intel® Atom™ processor N450 - netbooks
Small form factor CPU package The new lead-free¹, halogen-free² Micro-Flip Chip package is 60% smaller in netbooks (22x22 mm) than a notebook CPU (35x35 mm), saving system board real estate in a much thinner and smaller industrial design, enabling small netbook form factors. Efficient integration The new Intel® Atom™ processor integrates the graphics, display, and memory controller with the processor.This integration results in platform BOM savings, improved performance, and package area and power reduction. Intel® Enhanced Deeper Sleep (C4/C4E) Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to reduce power consumption and enable longer battery life. Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep Technology Multiple voltage and frequency operating points provide optimal performance at the lowest power. This allows for better matching of performance to application demand. Low Thermal Design Power Low Thermal Design Power enables thinner, lighter, more compact and portable netbooks as it reduces the cooling requirements. Enhanced data prefetcher and enhanced register access manager Anticipates data the processor is likely to need and stores the information within the processor's L2 cache, resulting in improved performance since the processor doesn't have to wait as long for data. Intel® Advanced Smart Cache Cache and bus design for efficient data sharing, providing enhanced performance, responsiveness, and power savings.

Intel® Atom™ processors for entry level desktops (both single and dual-core) share the same features and benefits:
Small form factor CPU package The new lead free¹, halogen free² Micro-Flip Chip package is 70% smaller (22x22mm) than a desktop CPU (37.5x37.5mm), saving system board real estate in a much thinner and smaller industrial design, enabling small entry level desktop form factors. Efficient integration The new Intel® Atom™ processor integrates the graphics, display, and memory controller with the processor. This integration results in platform BOM savings, improved performance, and package area and power reduction. Low Thermal Design Power Low Thermal Design Power enables smaller, sleeker desktops due to the lower cooling requirements. Enhanced data prefetcher and Enhanced Register Access Manager Anticipates data the processor is likely to need and stores the information within the processor's L2 cache, resulting in improved performance since the processor doesn't have to wait as long for data. Intel® Advanced Smart Cache Cache and bus design for efficient data sharing, providing enhanced performance, responsiveness and power savings. Integrated DX9* graphics core The Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 provides 3D graphics performance for a good visual computing experience. Intel® High Definition Audio 5.1 Integrated audio support enables quality home theater sound and delivers advanced features such as multiple audio streams and jack re-tasking. PCI Express* x1 Interface Offers up to 3.5 times the bandwidth over traditional PCI architecture. Supports LPC serial interface, ExpressCard and mini-card, and delivers fast access to peripheral devices and networking.
