Atom is an family of ultra-low-voltage 32 and 64-bit microprocessors and system on chips designed by Intel since 2008.

Models

Bonnell

Main article: Bonnel Microarchitecture

Bonnell was the first microarchitecture designed specifically for the ultra-low power microprocessor market. Introduced in 2008, it featured fully x86-compatible cores with a TDP of only 500 mW to 2 W, less than any other x86 processor available that the time. All Bonnell-based processors were manufactured on Intel's 45 nm process.

Silverthorne Core

Main article: Silverthorne Core

The first series of Bonnell processors were introduced during the 2008 Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in Shanghai, China. Those 32-bit processors were based on the the Silverthorne core which were designed for the Mobile Internet Devices (MID) market. Silverthorne processors have 56 KiB of L1$ and 512 KiB of L2. Silverthorne has support for the traditional AGTL+-based FSB as well as a new low power CMOS FSB specifically introduced to reduce power.

Silverthorne chips consist of 47 million transistors on a 24.2 mm² die. All processors are a single core. Additionally all models support every x86 extension up to SSSE3 (SMM, FPU, NX, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3). The original series of chips that were introduced in 2008 featured a tiny FCBGA-437 package measuring just 13 mm x 14 mm. Intel introduced an set of new models in a much bigger 22x22 mm² PBGA-441 package. Models ending in P use those large packages. A couple of models (those ending with 'T') also support industrial temperature ranges.
