Intel’s Atom gets used in… servers?
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets
Sure, we've been exited about Intel's
Atom CPU being used in
netbook-class devices, but UK ISP Bytemark apparently thinks the power-sipping chip has the horsepower to handle low-end server duties as well. For £45 ($89) a month, you can colo a 1.6GHz Atom box running Linux with 2GB of RAM and a pair of 100GB SATA drives -- not a terrible deal, and probably a damn sight more reliable than a
pile of duct tape or a
dead frog. Still, we're not exactly sure we'd want to run our business on the rough equivalent of an
Eee 901, you know?
