Atom chip towards the entertainment world

Intel Corporation recently announced that it will bring Atom processors into 'mobile' Internet access devices and a variety of other laptops.

Doug Davis, vice president of Intel Corporation, said: 'We have launched four Atom chips for automotive entertainment systems, video conferencing equipment, robots, or auto sales counters. . These energy-efficient mobile chips are capable of supporting multimedia technologies, as well as broadband Internet connections. '

Atom chips are super small and energy-efficient.

According to Davis, the Atom Z-500 processor line is an integrated chip, the size of a penny, low in power and without the need for a heat sink. These chips cost only 2.5W of power and run at about 1.10GHz to 1.6GHz, integrating 2D and 3D graphics.

So far, Atom chips are used for low-cost laptops, also known as netbooks and mobile Internet access devices (MIDs), or smartphones.
