Intel Atom is early success, could care less about this recession thing {Engadget}

Aug 15th 2008 4:28AM If you look at the gaggle of cheap laptops that have come out recently (Acer Aspire One, Asus, and now Lenovo and Dell) there is clearly an active push towards older users and offering a "second" (or fourth or fifth) computer at a low cost.
But I think the more interesting story here is in the emerging markets - countries whose economies are continuing to grow, such as Nigeria, South Africa, and Indonesia - where power-outs, diesel generators, and enormous UPSs are ubiquitous for whom power is of a paramount concern. Atom is great from a cost perspective, but its really the low power consumption of an Atom-powered system with laptop components (such as our Aleutia Williwaw PC) that will give Intel a formidable edge in these robust economies.
We've learned that Via (or even AMD) just doesn't have the brand power. IT is so relatively expensive in emerging markets that purchasers tend to be enormously conservative and again, Intel garners has an advantage there.
