Intel Updates Atom Processors for Network Storage Appliances

Intel added two new Atom processors designed for network storage appliances for consumers and small businesses. These are the 1.8GHz Intel Atom processor D425 single-core and D525 dual-core processor, both of which feature higher CPU frequencies for faster storage processing and support for new double-data-rate three small outline dual in-line memory modules, also known as DDR3 SODIMM.


Since Intel's initial foray in this area in March, leading storage manufacturers, including Acer, Cisco, LaCie, LG Electronics, NETGEAR, QNAP, Super Micro, Synology and Thecus have announced products based on the energy-efficient Intel Atom processor platform.
