Intel Atom Processors

Intel's Atom Processors will be launched in June this year. The new processors are based on 'Diamondville' platform. There will be three processors on this platform : Intel Atom, Intel Celeron 220 and Celeron 440. The latter two being Intel Core processors.

It is observed that the new processor will likely sell for upwards of $30 at the low-end and will cost Intel just $6 to $8, including production, packaging and shipping.

Initial 1.6GHz Atom 230 series processor may fit the UMPC or affordable computing bandwagon, a sub $300 category of computers.

Following Atom 230, Intel will be dishing out two more 1.87GHz processors, one of which will be a dual-core model, while the other will follow in the 230s footsteps with a 533MHz bus and 512KB of Level 2 cache memory.
