Atom: Diamondville Part II
So they've made an even smaller, lower wattage CPU, presumably for things like in smart phones.
They're calling this one 'atom'.
Apparently this on is supposed to get as low as 0.6w. That's not bad if you want to download something on your phone and not worry about it heating up in your purse or pocket. At least that's what I'm thinking it'll be primarily used for: Phones.
Maybe in a lot of handheld computers -- the kind surveyors use or people who work on construction sites, where a full computer just isn't practical, but a device where you can easily access the blueprints and such.
I also think this will turn into a lot more of the previously seen combining devices.
More of that saving power, and therefore lower cost as well like ygolo said in the other thread.
Is anyone else thinking, "Te for the win!" ?

DailyTech said:Anand Lal Shimpi conjectures on the difference between the two cores. "Intel lists the 1.6GHz Diamondville TDP as 4W, a bit higher than what you'll see in MIDs but I'm guessing it'll run at a higher voltage and thus be a higher yielding part that's cheaper to produce, resulting in the higher TDP."

DailyTech said:"This is our smallest processor built with the world's smallest transistors," said Intel's Executive Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Sean Maloney. "This small wonder is a fundamental new shift in design, small yet powerful enough to enable a big Internet experience on these new devices. We believe it will unleash new innovation across the industry."
