Atom 280
All is cleared on main Intel Atom wiki page:

The next generation of the Atom, "Lincroft," architecture will be launched in the second half of 2009 and is code-named Pineview. It will be used in Netbook/Nettop systems, and feature a system-on-chip (SOC) with an integrated single-channel DDR2 memory controller and an integrated graphics core. Pineview, like Diamondville, will be available in single and dual-core versions. It will feature HyperThreading, and is to be manufactured on a 45 nm[26] or 32 nm [27] process.

In addition to launching the Lincroft platform, it is widely anticipated but not yet confirmed that Intel will update the existing platform in the first half of 2009. An "N280" Diamondville CPU, running at a core clock speed of 1.66GHz and a 667MHz front side bus is expected, which would be paired with a new "GN40" graphics chipset in place of the Intel GMA 950 which is used with the N270. The resultant system would have a higher per-unit cost than the N270.[4]

I believe Atom 280 is not Pineview, only 270 refresh, ( for sure not 230 refresh, 280 is mobile part).

So,

280 is refresh to 270, ("280" Diamondville) Pineview is refresh to 230/330.

Rumors Atom 280
Charts needs to be updated if rumors are true about the Single core, Intel Atom 280. It's an upgraded version of either the 230 or the 270 (one of them), with an increased busspeed of upto 667Mhz compared to 553Mhz of the current model Atoms.

It also may support another chipset that is more energy efficient. So far Intel website has not yet released any info about this, but early photo's of Asus' netbook are roaming the internet.

Anyway, a topic worth keeping track of.

Information regarding atom 330
It says in the article that all 230 and 330 chips support SSSE3, however this seems to have been added later to revision 002 of Atom 330 in February 2009 according to Intel® AtomTM Processor 330∆ Series Datasheet —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bauksitt (talk • contribs) 04:18, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Atom Z5xx series and Intel 64
According to Intel Atom the Silverthorne family supports Intel 64. This seems to be confirmed by the reference http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=987 however on this page it says None of the models support: Intel 64, SSE4 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chithanh (talk • contribs) 21:37, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Z5XX and HT/VT
According to this table, all models except the Z510 feature HT. All models Z520 und Z530 feature VT. --DrSeehas (talk) 08:15, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

N570 and VT—x
It's not clear on Intel's website if the N570 supports VT-x or not (seamicro says that the N570 does support VT-x though). Somebody with an N570 cpu could maybe check if it's got it or not ? Pierro78 (talk) 09:32, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

It does. My Asus Eee PC 1215P with an N570 running linux reports:

Indeed it does, as SeaMicro made a clusterserver out of these CPU's. Some BIOSes intentionally deactivate the VT-x support.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.72.21.174 (talk) 15:59, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Are there Linux drivers for PowerVR graphic core (GMA 500 + GMA 600)?
PowerVR -> "Intel uses the SGX 535 as its GMA 500 and GMA 600 integrated graphics for their Atom platform"

As far as I am informed, there are only some very crappy Linux drivers for this hardware. The manufacturer himself Imagination Technologies doesn't care for Linux at all. Simply google for linux driver PowerVR or for SGX 535 linux drivers

The Linux drivers by intel are reported to be quite good, but how mature are the drivers for the PowerVR?

Transistor count in later Atom CPUs
The memory controller and graphics controller are integrated into the later Atom CPUs, explaining the drastically higher transistor count (47 million for Diamondville vs 123 million for Pineview). This dramatic difference in transistor count should be explained in the main article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.255.1.49 (talk) 01:36, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

dual core N270
I got Intel Atom N270. This wikipedia page states that there is no dual core version of this model. But all tests on my system (Compaq Mini 311c-1010EH) shows dual core. I'm troubled... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.2.8.75 (talk) 13:01, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Waiting for SSE4
I'm wondering if it isn't excess to include in many Atoms' specifications that they 'don't' include SSE4. Agreed, we're all waiting for the Atoms to get the latest instruction sets. But practically, we have lost the functionality of being able to search the article for "SSE4," to see if it has yet arrived, because the term is being used so often to state the negative.74.82.64.160 (talk) 17:59, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

D2560 and VT—x
The Wikipedia page List_of_Intel_Atom_microprocessors claims "... Intel VT-x (D2560 only)" but according to Intel's product page for the D2560, the D2560 does not support VT-x.

Can someone with a D2560 check it for VT-x support?

Remove grouping by cores
Does anyone have any objections to removing the section divisions by number of cores, and moving all the core codename sections up one level? This would make the list consistent with other CPU lists like List of Intel Pentium microprocessors, and would allow us to group the types that come in multiple counts of cores. We would of course still specify number of cores for each model. --Vossanova o&lt; 20:40, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

No sources, dubious data
This article cites no sources and has dubious data. Where did the "3.27 × 7.94" die size for Diamondville come from? Where did all the other numbers come from? They are not on the intel site or data sheets. -- Cy be r XR ef ☎ 06:24, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

The article also cites "SLBR9" sspec for the Atom Z600. Where did that number come from? It's not on the Ark or any of the data sheets. This is true for many other models. -- Cy be r XR ef ☎ 17:54, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
