Intel Atom N550

The Intel Atom N550 is a dual core Atom CPU for small netbooks and offers relative slow performance but also features a low power consumption. Because of the "in order" execution, the Atom series CPUs are slower than Core / Celeron CPUs at the same clock rate. The N550 is produced in 45nm and supports DDR3 main memory. It contains the GMA3150 graphics card on the same chip.
