We provide you with a closer look.

Good day, Hacker Public Radio.
|
||
|
|
This is JWP, and I'm going to talk to you a little bit about the Atom Intel processor.
|
||
|
|
I own a lot of atoms, and I have to say that I've been pretty pleased with all of them.
|
||
|
|
It's sort of a love-hate thing that I have going on with my HP Netbook.
|
||
|
|
It seems that it doesn't perform as well as the atom that I bought two years ago.
|
||
|
|
But interestingly enough, there's not that much difference between an atom chip
|
||
|
|
and a Netbook running an atom that I purchased two years ago,
|
||
|
|
and one that I purchased this year running an atom.
|
||
|
|
It's a brand name from Intel for an ultra-low voltage x86 and x8664 CPUs from Intel.
|
||
|
|
It has a 45 nanometer COMUS, and it's mainly used in netbooks, net tops, and embedded applications
|
||
|
|
ranging from health care to advanced robotics.
|
||
|
|
In 2009, Intel announced the next generation of atom processors, including the N450 with a total power kit consumption down by 20%.
|
||
|
|
Now, this is the chip that I have in my Toshiba is in 450.
|
||
|
|
The later ones that I purchased are more, I guess you could say more 64-bit.
|
||
|
|
They call it Intel 64.
|
||
|
|
If you got Silver Home or Lincraft, it does what they call Intel VTX.
|
||
|
|
If you got the Diamondville or the Pineview or Cedar Trail,
|
||
|
|
basically anything with an N, an N, a D, or a number in front of it.
|
||
|
|
Whereas if you got the two Z models, the Z5 or the Z6, you might not have full 64-bit capacity.
|
||
|
|
Whereas the N2XX doesn't have Intel 64 either, but both my netbooks have 64-bit, so they're both atom, I believe they're both pine-deus.
|
||
|
|
And I think they're both ones a single and ones a dual.
|
||
|
|
And so it's quite good little chips.
|
||
|
|
The performance of a single core atom is about half that of a pinium M of the same clock rate.
|
||
|
|
For example, an atom N270 can be found in many netbooks such as the triple EPC and deliver around 3,300 Mips and 2.1 Gigaflops and standard performance.
|
||
|
|
Compared to 7,400 Mips or 3.9 Gigaflops of a similarly clocked pinium M.
|
||
|
|
But because I use Linux on these boxes, I don't notice the difference.
|
||
|
|
Both have been quite good for me and both run, well one's running mint.
|
||
|
|
They're actually both of them are running mint now.
|
||
|
|
And I can see myself moving almost immediately as soon as the next long-term Ubuntu comes out to move both those netbooks to the long-term version of Ubuntu.
|
||
|
|
Well, that's about it for the atom processor.
|
||
|
|
Again, be sure that you understand that Diamondville is the first one that does a 64-bit really, really well.
|
||
|
|
Alright, thank you. Bye-bye.
