It’s a brand name for a line of Ultra low voltage IA32 (“Short for Intel Architecture, 32 bit”, some times also called i386 is a 32 bit version of x86 instruction set architecture) and x86-64 (64-bit instruction set architecture) micro processors by Intel corporation. Mainly used in netbooks, embedded applications from healthcare to advanced robotics and mobile internet devices (MIDs). Originally designed in 45 nm CMOS technology.
It’s 1st generation processors were based on the “Bonnel” micro-architecture.
In 2012, Intel launched the 64 bit Centerton family of Atom CPUs designed specifically for servers.
In 2013, Intel launched 22 nm successor to Centerton, code named Avoton.
Intel Atom is direct successor of the Intel A10 and A110 low power microprocessors (Codenamed Stealey) 90 nm process.
Atom processors became available to system manufacturers in 2008. The Diamondville and Pineview Atom is used microprocessor mini series, Asus N10, Lenovo Idea Pad S10, Acer Aspire One, Sony VAIO M-series, Dell Inspiron mini series, Samsung NC10.
