Intel® Atom™ Processors For embedded computing

Intel® Atom™ processors, implemented in 45nm process technology, are power-optimized to deliver robust performance per watt, making them ideal for many embedded applications such as interactive kiosks, point-of-sale terminals, in-vehicle infotainment systems, media phones, industrial automation equipment, digital security systems, and residential gateways.

These single-core processors are software-compatible with previous 32-bit Intel® architecture and complementary silicon. They include embedded lifecycle support, which protects system investments by enabling extended product availability for embedded customers.

A three-chip solution is offered with the Intel® Atom™ processor N270Δ and the mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset. A two-chip solution is offered with the Intel® Atom™ processor Z5xx series and the Intel® System Controller Hub US15W.

Product Highlights:

• Intel hafnium-based 45nm Hi-k metal gate silicon process technology reduces power consumption, increases switching speed, and significantly increases transistor density over previous 65nm process technology.
• Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology reduces average system power consumption.
• Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology)¹; available in designated SKUs provides high performance-per-watt efficiency in an in-order pipeline. HT Technology provides increased system responsiveness in multi-tasking environments. One execution core appears as two logical processors, and parallel threads are executed on a single core with shared resources.
