First details about Intel ’s upcoming dual-core Atom processor have been published by German website heise.de. The magazine said that the CPU is likely to be called Atom 330 and will debut with a thermal design power of 8 watts.

An interesting note is that this CPU will be built from two Silverthorne (while the power consumption actually points to Diamondville cores) dies and for compact desktop PCs. Intel is expected to be using the Hyperthreading -capable higher-end of its Silverthorne line-up to support four threads per CPU.

IDF Shanghai 2008: Atom-Enabled Devices To Debut


Added: March 22, 2008

A new processor for the ultra-mobile market is Intel's latest move to revolutionize mobility computing, from UMPCs to mobile Internet devices and even notebooks and desktops (er, "netbooks" and "net-tops&quot. While Atom (née Silverthorne) received its brand-new brand name recently, the family of tiny processors, which relies on 45nm technology just like the Penryn line of Core 2 Duo processors, will debut in devices on display at IDF in Shanghai in early April.

It's no secret that China has come a long way in a short time — from being a country known for manufacturing cheap products for export to being, potentially, the next great IT superpower. National Science Board figures show that in 1994 there were only seven U.S. companies doing research in China. Ten years later, that number had risen to more than 500. Gartner analysts James Popkin and Partha Iyengar wrote, in their 2007 book I.T. and the East, that the world "will witness the birth of a real IT superpower if government restrictions are loosened and the Chinese instinctive talent for entrepreneurialism continues to be encouraged."

It's against this backdrop that the Intel Developer Forum in Shanghai, April 2 and 3, 2008, takes on extra significance. China now supplies the talent, within the country, to conduct advanced research in chip design. At this year's IDF in Shanghai, Intel will provide an update on new technologies and features that enable devices with better performance, less power, more mobility, and lower cost.

Intel has begun shipping its first dual-core Atom processor, the company said on Friday.

The Intel Atom 330 is clocked the same as the existing single-core Atom 230, or 1.6 GHz. It contains a full megabyte of level-2 cache, split over both cores; the 230 contains just 512 Kbytes. The new chip also is rated for 8 watts of thermal design power, and includes support for DDR2 667 memory. The Atom 330 is designed for the Intel 945GC Express chipset, Intel said.

The Atom 330 is priced at $43 per processor in 1,000-unit lots; the Atom 230 is priced at $29.

Shuttle Shows the Power of Atom 330 in New Barebone PC


Shuttle, a computer systems vendor that specializes in the Mini-PC segment, has just announced its latest Barebone PC, the X27D, that has been built to take advantage of Intel's recently released Atom 330 processor.

The system is built on Intel's 945GC and ICH7 Express chipset, and the dual-core Atom 330 processor, running at 1.6GHz, and coming with 1MB of cache and 533MHz FSB. The X27D is featured with 2GB of DDR2 RAM memory, integrated graphics with VGA and DVI-D outputs, 5.1 surround sound and gigabit LAN. Connectivity options include a total of six USB 2.0 ports (two placed in front, four at the back, and a further four pin-out USB connection is available on the motherboard), microphone and headphone sockets on the front, audio ports placed at the back of the system, and COM port and PS/2.

Being built on an Atom processor, the new Shuttle Barebone PC doesn't require high amounts of power, which is why it is featured with a 60W PSU. Overall, the system measures 250 x 185 x 70 mm, and can also provide users with space for a slimline optical drive or SATA 2.5-inch hard drive. Price-wise, the X27D is currently available for $264, excluding VAT. Users can also fully configure X27D-based systems through the company's website.

Intel will continue to push its low-power Atom processor. Intel recently launched the dual-core Atom 330, which consumes just 8W of power. The 330 is really two single-core Atoms built into a single package.

Intel is planning revisions for later in 2009, prepping Pineville—the successor to the current Atom CPU. Pineville will integrate graphics and a memory controller onto the CPU, effectively turning it into a system-on-a-chip (SoC).

Intel recommends minimum 80W power supply for these.

Table 22. Recommended Power Supply Current Values

Output Voltage    3.3 V      5 V         12 V1        12 V2       -12 V       5 VSB

Current           0.52 A     7.34 A      1.17 A       0.54 A      0.03 A      0.25 A


with a good multi-rail power supply, some creative wiring, and a little know how, you could probably get 4 of these squeezed into a tower with a single power supply. The are only 6.75 inches by 6.75 inches (171.45 millimeters by 171.45 millimeters)

The next generation of the Atom is codenamed Pineview which utilizes the Lincroft system-on-a-chip architecture and is used in the "Moorestown" platform. It is scheduled to be launched in Q4 2009 for a dual core and Q1 2010 for single core.

It will be used in Netbook/Nettop systems, and feature a system-on-chip (SOC) with an integrated single-channel DDR2 memory controller and an integrated graphics core. It will feature HyperThreading, and is to be manufactured on a 45 nm or 32 nm process. The new system-on-a-chip design will use half the power of the older Menlow platform.

This reduced overall power consumption and size will make the platform more desirable for use in smartphones and other mobile internet devices.

The Intel Atom 330 supports 64-bit processing. . . makes it just a little more appealing.

. . . a computer that only takes about 50 watts of power running 4 SIMAP's at a time, in about 3 hours

Crunching WCG, it would see it as a quadcore. . .

. . . and an upgrade for a boat anchor for only about $150

Sounds like a plan.

The Atom 330 is very inefficient comparing with other processors for BOINC work.
It's usable for mail, internetting, listening stream radio, but not for real crunching. See my earlier post.
Besides of the 1.6 GHz the old fashioned FSB speed is a bottle neck.
With the double amount of money you can do at least 4 times the work.
For that money you can have a look at 65W quad core processors with a FSB of 800 or 1066MHz and a cpu speed over 2GHz.

My 2 cents.

CP:

I believe it's closer to a wash. . . from NewEgg:





Even the lowest end quad, motherboard and memory will start somewhere around $300 [assuming an upgrade scenario, and staying away from the build creep (for a few dollars more] temptation. . .]

The boat anchor I am looking at upgrading only has a 250W PSU. . . really marginal for a quad.

. . .so a minimum quad will cost on the order of three times as much and use about 4X as much electricity.

Besides, it will be a project build [my maiden] for me and my 12 y/o. . . others will probably follow.

Still sounds like a plan.

It's always a good idea to make your own experiences.

I just would let you know mine. The most important to me was the work done with the used electricity.
Always compared for the same project of course.
My 15 months old quad uses 107 Watt/hour (the whole system, without screen, video on chip) under 100% load.
This spring (because of the good press) I tested an Atom 330.
That system uses under full load 48 Watt/hour.
With a 8W processor rather high (surely compared to laptop processors).
I had accepted the number of watts if the runtimes of the BOINC-tasks were not so much longer compared to my quad and to my 5 years old laptop (49 Watt/hour - Sempron 2800+).
That laptop was able to crunch more WU's in the same time on a single core

Good luck with your project.

CP:

I ran some BOINC projects on a single core Atom [270?] net top and I am aware it is painfully slow.

A few questions:

Was your Atom 330 running with 2Gigs of ram?

. . . were you running a 64-bit OS?

I remember seeing somewhere that a 330 would run SIMAP's in about 3 hours, did you possibly run any SIMAP on it?

Here is one on my Atom N270 (32 bit, 2GB RAM) that ran with another simap WU concurrently (Hyper-Threading) under Ubuntu Linux 9.04

I don't think I tested it with the simaps, because I knew enough within a day
It was equipped with 2GB RAM (DDR2 667MHz) and with Vista64 as the OS, a normal 7,200 disk and video onboard.
I tested it with the PrimeGrid AP26's (in Spring the runtime was about a half of what's now).
With the shop I had an appointment that I could return it when the low watt usage was a fairy tail.
Else I had bought a small farm

RR:


Thanks, I was in the ballpark with 3 hours for a SIMAP. . . my system monitor confirms that SIMAPS run on about 350MiB, so 2Gigs will handle 4 at a time nicely.

. . . 4 SIMAPS in 3 hours translates into 32 in 24 hours.

120 SIMAPS [30WU/core max] would run in less than 4 days. . .

Sounding more and more like a plan.
