In the immediate future, OEMs will mainly look to Atom's cheap price and largely stripped down performance with a single "in-order" pipeline that dates back to the original Pentium chip for inexpensive and lightweight laptops. Intel would not disclose pricing, but the OEM price of $45 for the Intel Atom Z500 certainly makes it a good fit for portable devices. (The Z-Series processors are intended for handheld use, but are architecturally identical to the N-Series chips for laptop use.)
