Five months ago, Intel introduced their low-power 45nm Atom and Centrino Atom processors. Now, Intel dropped the Centrino Atom brand-name and changed it to just Atom.  The Centrino Atom brand was used to describe processors under the Menlow platform aimed at Mobile Internet Devices (MID) but not for Ultra Low Cost Personal Computers (ULCPCs) like netbooks because the Atom processor was deigned for this.

So don’t be confused, all you have to worry now is the difference between MIDs and ULCPCs because their processors are now using the same brand name. LOL!
