Intel Names New Chip Adam

Over at CNET News.com an article I cam across mentioned that the new name will be applied to a family of two chips with a couple members: Silverthorne and Diamondville

Silverthorne: is a low-power mobile processor destined for the next generation of mobile Internet devices. It incorporates a new low-power state, allowing it to essentially shut down in between processing tasks and limit power consumption.

Diamondville: is a single-core processor for ultra-low-cost laptops. Intel refers to the low-cost notebook design as "netbook" and estimates the pricing for these devices will go as low as $250. Diamondville is a tiny 45-nanometer processor that employs a simpler design than standard Intel processors

The new chips which are due out in late 2008, will just add to the variety of chips that Intel is piling up for each unique computer user.
