Now, we all know that Intel's Atom processors aren't exactly the most powerful ones out there, but have you ever wondered what two of these chips could do in the hands of enterprising geek masterminds? The answer is this: a freaky-looking plastic robot called the ATOM-7xp which runs on two different Atom processors (a dual-core Atom 330 and an Atom 230) and two different Windows operating systems -- Windows 7 and XP. Sound too good to be true? Well, it's not hard to argue against it, but the ATOM-7xp humanoid robot's creators seem proud enough of their work, which can operate autonomously in addition to being used as a telepresence robot and even "take on real world problems." It might look weird and useless but the ATOM-7xp humanoid robot most likely took a good deal of effort and resources to build. But heck, if it really runs on two Atom processors and Windows operating systems, any modder could probably come up with something similar in under a weekend with a couple of Dell Mini 9s.
