Intel UMPC chip enters service as server CPU

| Yes, we're talking Intel's Atom, specifically the 1.6GHz 230, which 
| Bytemark's now using as the basis for what it claimed were its lowest-cost 
| dedicated Linux-running servers yet.

Makes it harder for Intel to fix prices. Groklaw commented at the time:

| "The Eee PC's success wasn't possible without Intel's support. The chip maker 
| was initially hesitant to embrace Asustek's push into low-cost laptops for 
| fear it would drive down margins for its mobile processors if users opted to 
| buy low-cost laptops instead of more powerful -- and more expensive -- 
| models. But Intel eventually decided that the opportunity to expand the size 
| of the overall laptop market outweighed the risks of lower profit margins, 
| and gave its backing to the little laptops."

| [PJ: I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. All you folks who flamed 
| me for saying Intel was involved with Asus can now send me emails of apology. 
| Chocolate would be nice too. It would show sincerity, don't you think?]
