The Atom architecture stresses a smaller die and less power-usage, excluding out-of-order execution in the processess (a larger die is required to allow instructions to reorder to address which instruction has readily available cache; a larger die requires more power). That sacrifice resulted in severely hampered multitasking and performance (depending on the application[s]), but significantly improved power-efficiency.

I never even thought Atom processors would hit 1.0 GHz, because devices that would best utilize Atoms would be embedded or ultra-mobile non-performers. The fact that Atom processors are in netbooks is already a stretch. I'd doubt that any professional would spend good money on a machine that isn't at least average all across the board.]]>Jul 15th 2008 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/Jul 14th 2008 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/Jul 14th 2008 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/Jul 14th 2008 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/Jul 14th 2008 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/Jul 14th 2008 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/

That industrial form factor has garnered many rewards and acknowledgements from people with a lot more savvy than random commenters on blogs ;)

I'll be lining up for this one. I have always appreciated the usability of trackpoints over touchpads, and the combination of features, size, weight and price make this a must have for me.]]>Jul 15th 2008 4:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/Jul 14th 2008 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/Jul 15th 2008 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/lenovos-thinkpad-x200-is-0-8-inches-thick-actually-affordable/

I have a T61p already. If I get a new notebook, it's gonna be because it offers me some functionality that my current one can't.
