Under the hood of the HP Mini Notebook computers is the Intel Atom --Intel's smallest processor, and built with the world's smallast transisters and made with the 45nm Hi-k Metal Gate tecnhology.
Basically, the Intel Atom was built for Netbooks to cover basic computing functionalities such as surfing the net, working on simple Microsoft documents, and photo & video viewing.
Here are the specs of the Intel Atom Processor N270 running under most HP Minis:
(Thanks to Intel's official website for this http://www.intel.com)
A. Small form factor CPU package: The new lead-free², halogen-free³ Micro-Flip Chip package is 60% smaller in netbooks (22x22 mm) than a notebook CPU (35x35 mm), saving system board real estate in a much thinner and smaller industrial design, enabling small netbook form factors.
B. Intel® Enhanced Deeper Sleep (C4/C4E): Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to reduce power consumption and enable longer battery life.
C. Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep Technology: Multiple voltage and frequency operating points provide optimal performance at the lowest power. This allows for better matching of performance to application demand.
D. Low TDP: Low Thermal Design Power enables thinner, lighter, portable netbook devices as it reduces the cooling requirements.
E. Power-optimized front side bus: Minimizes power needed to transmit data to the processor, resulting in significant power savings and enabling longer battery life - all without impacting performance.
F. Enhanced data prefetcher and enhanced register access manager: Anticipates data the processor is likely to need and stores the information within the processor's L2 cache, resulting in improved performance since the processor doesn't have to wait as long for data.
G. Intel® Advanced Smart Cache: Cache and bus design for efficient data sharing, providing enhanced performance, responsiveness and power savings.
Knowing all these makes you feel greater value for your HP Mini! :)
