ars technica: New "atomic" server: 512 Atom CPUs take on Xeons
When Intel first unveiled its "Silverthorne" microarchitecture in 2008, it was clear that the low-power, in-order processors based on it (i.e., Atom) would be at the very bottom of the performance heap. It's fair to say that none of us in the tech press ever expected to see a server based on the design, much less one that would be aimed directly at Intel's high-end Xeon line. But we weren't the only ones watching the Silverthorne announcement.
