SeaMicro has developed a server that packs in 512 low-power Intel Atom processors on miniature motherboards the size of credit cards, the company announced Monday.

Atom processors are more commonly found in netbooks, but Andrew Feldman, SeaMicro’s CEO, says they can be more power-efficient than x86 chips for certain cloud and Web transaction workloads. Such transactions tend to be smaller in size but higher in volume.
