The Atom maybe slow but consumers like Atom-based netbooks/mini-notebooks a lot. Models like the MSI Wind, the Asus Eee PC, or the Acer Aspire One, all based on the 1.6 Ghz Atom CPU, are selling like hotcakes. Overall, Atom-based netbook sales could reach a figure north of 10 million this year. That´s a nice additional revenue stream for INTC, which was basically non-existent last year. And this is just the beginning.
