The energy-effective processors intel atom received an increasing propagation. They will be used in MID class devices and built-in systems notebook and servers.
The performance of single core CPU intel atom is completely sufficient today. The representative of future atom processor will become the dual core processor atom 330.
This processor will be released in the third quarter this year. Atom 330 will be similar on characteristics to its predecessor, Atom 230:
- Frequency 1,6 GHz
- 512 KB cache per core
- 533- MHz system bus
Accordingly, Atom 330 will have 2 X 512 KB cache in the second level. TDP Level will rise in comparison with Atom 230 by only 2 W and it will be 8 W.
This CPU will support hyper threading technology , so it will be capable to execute four instructions thread simultaneously.
