Intel Atom N470
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Atom N470 was a central processor. It significantly shaped the emerging netbook era. The chip was based on the Pineview architecture and was manufactured using the then-advanced 45 nm process. Its main strength lay in its remarkable energy efficiency. This allowed for convincingly long battery life in the mobile devices of the time.

We remember how crucial this was for working and surfing on the go. A major advantage was its high integration. The processor had an integrated graphics unit, the Intel GMA 3150. This greatly simplified the design of smaller, lighter, and above all, more affordable computers. With 1 MB of Level 2 cache and a maximum memory bandwidth of 5 GB/s, the Intel Atom N470 was adequately equipped for its time.

It offered solid performance for everyday tasks. These included surfing the Internet, retrieving emails, or simple word processing. The focus of the Intel Atom N470 was clearly on mobility and low power consumption. It was a reliable companion for basic applications and made mobile computers accessible to many people.
  • High energy efficiency
  • Integrated graphics (Intel GMA 3150)
  • Enabled compact and affordable netbooks
