The first Eee PCs and netbooks to be released featured an under-clocked (slowed down) Intel Celeron M 353 processor (CPU). Recently Intel have created and released a CPU called the Intel Atom, which has been specifically designed for netbooks. This new Intel Atom processor is more powerful and efficient than ever before, making netbooks powered by them faster with longer running times.
We are beginning to see new netbooks with the Intel Atom N270 CPU now on the market. As I’m sure these Intel Atom netbooks will be popular I have created a list of netbooks powered by the Atom CPU.
Intel Atom powered Netbooks:
- Eee PC S101
- Eee PC 1000

The Intel Atom CPU has been updated with the higher performing Intel Atom N280 CPU. The N280 has a faster clock speed of 1.66Ghz, and a faster front side bus of 667MHz for higher performance, along with improved graphics with HD hardware decoding thanks to the new GX40 chipset.
Update: Since early to mid 2009, 95% of new netbooks feature the Intel Atom CPU. Simply search for “Atom” on the site, and you will find all the Intel Atom netbooks.
