Passage: The first Atom processors were based on the Bonnell microarchitecture.Those Atom processors are able to execute up to two instructions per cycle.Like many other x86 microprocessors, they translate x86-instructions (CISC instructions) into simpler internal operations (sometimes referred to as micro-ops, i.e., effectively RISC style instructions) prior to execution.Wengi wa maelekezo kuzalisha moja micro-op wakati kutafsiriwa, na karibu 4% ya maelekezo kutumika katika programu ya kawaida kuzalisha mbalimbali micro-ops. Idadi ya maelekezo ambayo kuzalisha zaidi ya moja micro-op ni kwa kiasi kikubwa chini kuliko P6 na NetBurst microarchitectures. Katika Bonnell microarchitecture, ndani micro-ops inaweza kuwa na wote kumbukumbu na kuhifadhi mzigo kumbukumbu katika ALU na operesheni, hivyo kuwa na uwezo zaidi kwa x86 maelekezo (CISC maelekezo) katika rahisi ya ndani ya shughuli (wakati mwingine hujulikana kama micro-ops, yaani, kwa ufanisi RISC style maelekezo) kabla ya utekelezaji.
