All of Intel's new Atoms offer 64-bit architecture, but the X5 and X7 are also notable for being the company's first 14nm mobile chips. Basically, that should allow them to be powerful without sipping too much battery life. Intel claims the X7 is also twice as fast in GFXBench compared to its former Atom heavyweight, the Z3795, as well as 50 percent faster in 3DMark.

So who's going to use these things? Partners include ASUS, Foxconn and Pegatron for the X3, while the X5 and X7 are going to be used by Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, Toshiba and, of course, ASUS once again. Intel didn't reveal availability details, but don't be surprised if these new chips start popping up in newly announced devices over the next few months. And you can expect an explosion of Atom-powered gadgets leading up to the Windows 10 launch later this year.
