    Not being american, I have no idea how big that coin is IRL - It could be 4 metres across for all I know.

    Sounds like Intel can't keep up with demand for the Atom atm.

    With the wafer sizes Intel uses, I don't think volume is the problem. I think they are looking to do business int he same way the embedded CPUs they are targeting do business to make Atom more appealing.

    I will be interested to see what else they do to make it easier on first time x86 embedded customers.
