Succession

Silverthorne is the core name for Intel's first generation of Atom processors based on the Bonnell microarchitecture, replacing Stealey. Those ultra-low power chips were manufactured on Intel's 45 nm process and were specifically aimed for the Mobile Internet device (MID) market. Silverthorne-based processors are 32-bit x86 single core processors with TDP ranging from just 650 mW to 2.5 W. Silverthorne superseded by Lincroft in 2010.

Overview[edit]

All models are based on Bonnell manufactured on a 45 nm process and implement x86-32 with no 64-bit support. This processor is designed to work with the Poulsbo chipset in both low-power CMOS mode as well as standard GTL mode.
