In Japan after a great calamity, there were two geniuses who dreamed of
the future. One was Umatarō Tenma. The other was Hiroshi Ochanomizu. The
two labored day and night in robot research — Tenma to create a "god,"
and Ochanomizu to create a "friend." Thus a robot, A106, was born from
their collaborative friendship. (from manga)

Atom The Beginning - Intel Atom - Netflix
Intel Atom is the brand name for a line of ultra-low-voltage IA-32 and
x86-64 microprocessors by Intel Corporation. Atom is mainly used in
netbooks, nettops, embedded applications ranging from health care to
advanced robotics, and mobile Internet devices (MIDs). The line was
originally designed in 45 nm complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor
(CMOS) technology and subsequent models, codenamed Cedar, used a 32 nm
process. The first generation of Atom processors are based on the
Bonnell microarchitecture. On 21 December 2009, Intel announced the Pine
Trail platform, including new Atom processor code-named Pineview (Atom
N450), with total kit power consumption down 20%. On 28 December 2011,
Intel updated the Atom line with the Cedar processors. In December 2012,
Intel launched the 64-bit Centerton family of Atom CPUs, designed
specifically for use in servers. Centerton adds features previously
unavailable in Atom processors, such as Intel VT virtualization
technology and support for ECC memory. On 4 September 2013 Intel
launched a 22 nm successor to Centerton, codenamed Avoton. In 2012,
Intel announced a new system on chip (SoC) platform designed for
smartphones and tablets which would use the Atom line of CPUs. It was a
continuation of the partnership announced by Intel and Google on 13
September 2011 to provide support for the Android operating system on
Intel x86 processors. This range competed with existing SoCs developed
for the smartphone and tablet market from companies like Texas
Instruments, Nvidia, Qualcomm and Samsung. On April 29, 2016, Intel
announced the decision to cancel the Broxton SoC for Smartphones and
Tablets. Broxton was to use the newest Atom microarchitecture (Goldmont
on a 14 nm node) in combination with an Intel modem. Apollo Lake,
announced early the same month for low-cost entry PCs, will continue
using Atom cores.
Atom The Beginning - History - Netflix
Intel Atom is a direct successor of the Intel A100 and A110 low-power
microprocessors (code-named Stealey), which were built on a 90 nm
process, had 512 kB L2 cache and ran at 600 MHz/800 MHz with 3 W TDP
(Thermal Design Power). Prior to the Silverthorne announcement, outside
sources had speculated that Atom would compete with AMD's Geode
system-on-a-chip processors, used by the One Laptop per Child (OLPC)
project, and other cost and power sensitive applications for x86
processors. However, Intel revealed on 15 October 2007 that it was
developing another new mobile processor, codenamed Diamondville, for
OLPC-type devices. “Atom” was the name under which Silverthorne would be
sold, while the supporting chipset formerly code-named Menlow was called
Centrino Atom. At Spring Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2008 in Shanghai,
Intel officially announced that Silverthorne and Diamondville are based
on the same microarchitecture. Silverthorne would be called the Atom
Z5xx series and Diamondville would be called the Atom N2xx series. The
more expensive lower-power Silverthorne parts was to be used in Intel
mobile Internet devices (MIDs) whereas Diamondville was to be used in
low-cost desktop and notebooks. Several Mini-ITX motherboard samples
have also been revealed. Intel and Lenovo also jointly announced an Atom
powered MID called the IdeaPad U8. In April 2008, a MID development kit
was announced by Sophia Systems and the first board called
CoreExpress-ECO was revealed by a German company LiPPERT Embedded
Computers, GmbH. Intel offers Atom based motherboards. In December 2012,
Intel released Atom for servers, the S1200 series. The primary
difference between these processors and all prior versions, is that ECC
memory support has been added, enabling the use of the Atom in
mission-critical server environments that demand redundancy and memory
failure protection.
