In Intel's recent announcement of 32nm process a chap called Mark Bohr, the senior Fellow and director of process architecture and integration said the following:

"Our manufacturing prowess and resulting products have helped us widen our lead in computing performance and battery life for Intel-based laptops, servers and desktops," he said.  Mark Bohr, Intel Senior Fellow and director of process architecture and integration, continued, "As we've shown this year, the manufacturing strategy and execution have also given us the ability to create entirely new product lines for MIDs, CE equipment, embedded computers and netbooks."

Just pay attention tothe last word, as this is definitely proof enough that Intel plans a 32nm Atom. It is very logical, as Intel will find a way to optimize this chip even further and probably bring the power consumption further down, and make Atom more acceptable for future netbooks and Multimedia Internet devices (MIDs). Intel has created a new market and it wants to continue riding on its wave of success.

We regret if we got Mark Bohr in trouble, but he said that in a public press announcement, and at the same time we can give our kudos to Mark Bohr and his team for doing such a great job with Conroe and Wolfdale, and especially with Nehalem generation.
