AMD Athlon64http://forum.micromart.co.uk/Topic305193-23-1.aspxIntel's chipset is the biggest problem, it's hot, noisy and spartan feature wise.<br>Intel are making the Atom boards cheap enough for the embedded Atom on Mini ITX board to be sold at £50 to us consumers.<br>Biggest omission in that article was the price difference IMO, expected to be around $90 + mobo vs £50 all in.<br><br>(Thought the Atom was destined for UMPC's and smart phones anyway?)Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:33:15 GMTBasilRE: Intel Atom outclassed by......... AMD Athlon64http://forum.micromart.co.uk/Topic305193-23-1.aspxProblem, though. It costs several more times the money to manufacture than the Atom and is also physically much bigger. AMD hasn't a prayer of making them in volume at a price that will compete with the other CPUs in the market -- not without making a loss, anyway.Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:26:30 GMTJasonRE: Intel Atom outclassed by.........
