Nice review on Tom's Hardware of newest CPU by Intel called Atom. The Atom cpu is also known as Little Falls. It picks up where Little Valley left off (LV is done this month and replaced by LF). Later in August the dual core version of the Little Falls (or LF2) is supposed to be available. Performance is somewhere between Celeron and Pentium and cost for cpu is under $30 (figure $90 for mini-itx).
For a few months, we’d been hearing talk of a new dedicated Intel processor for MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices), intended to compete with ARM processors. Initially known by the names Silverthorne and Diamondville, the processors in this new line will be called "Atom". These chips have a few surprises in store.
