Intel just announced the brand name for it's newest mobile processor called the Intel® Atom™ processor. And as a new brand name, I have to admit I really like this one.

Brian Fravel, Intel Director of Marketing, Brand Strategy recently posted a good article introducing the brand.

"Soon, you will see the Intel Centrino Atom brand on handheld devices that can bring an amazing internet experience in a device that fits in your pocket. You’ll see the Intel Atom processor powering a growing category of devices aimed at delivering affordable, Internet-centric uses."

 

Not only is this this Intel's smallest processor it is also contains the worlds smallest transistors. Listen to Anand Chandrasekher, Senior VP of Intel's Ultra Mobility Group, explain what's so cool about the Intel Atom processor.


 


 

Pretty neat stuff.. but wait there's more! Let's bring this home by showing off some end products. Watch Mark Parker show off early prototypes based on this new architecture.




 

Bottom line? Cool brand name for that will be at the heart of very cool technology coming our way. Want more?

It's nice to actually playback video on a netbook, however, the Intel Atom needs a little more oomph! factor to get the threads and streaming video through faster. I am really hoping Intel will provide a dual core Atom with serious upgrades for netbook performance. I have the new HP Mini 5105 Netbook and the only thing that I feel that is holding this beautifully designed and well crafted netbook is the Intel processors and GMA which also needs a little help. I want to watch videos, movies, etc on Hulu and YouTube without hiccups or choppy video performance. Thank you Intel for getting netbooks just to be able to play videos in the first place. It would have never happened without the Atom, please add more juice.
