Intel Atom processors are mobile processors made for ultra portable use with low power consumption and simple architecture to achieve high performance to power ratio. These processors have been around for more than two years and they’ve found their ways into netbooks and nettops. Atom architecture on the other hand is neither revolutionary nor the best solution for the problem.

Atom Processor N280 is a processor from Intel made for low power consumption and reasonable price. It used to be in netbooks but with the more recent model around the block, N450, there is little it can do to stay on the market.

Atom N280 is dropping in its never-quite-achieved popularity fairly quickly for two reasons. There are better solutions for what it tries to accomplish, and netbook category as a whole are producing lower sales numbers as well. If you’re looking to buy a netbook in the near future you should consider these atom N280 benchmark results.

It depends on what you call normal games and what you call playing them. There are many titles out on the market today that are so resource hungry that you would trouble playing theme even if you had a very strong desktop replacement notebook, but with a netbook you are most probably going to be in trouble. If you were thinking about playing some high processor and video card demand…

Almost everyone has heard about atom processor based laptops, the netbooks. These little computers have become popular beyond their makers’ wildest dream, and there is a good reason for this phenomenon. If you are looking for a laptop as a secondary computer, or even a primary one with some limitations, an atom processor laptop may be a good choice, not only because it’s cheap, but because it’s great for what it’s intended.

If you are looking for a netbook that is not as slow as the other one on the shelf, you might be looking for one with an Intel Atom N270 dual core processor. This name is not entirely correct though, as Intel calls this solution the Atom 330. Don’t let yourself be fooled though, they’re the same thing.

Atom Processor Z520 is an Intel CPU made for netbooks and nettops. It is one of the first versions of the atom core ever to be released, and as such it is now a bit outdated. There netbooks on the shelves built upon it, so be careful when choosing one; it shouldn’t come with the Z520.

When you buy a netbook chances are you get an Atom processor to do all the task you might have had in mind. It can be a good think, but can be bad news for some. The most often heard definition of Atom processor performance that it’s good enough for net browsing and standard definition movies. How much is that, what to expect?
