If you do, try to find out exactly what
CPU it will have and whether you can
choose if more than one type exists;
check them against this list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Atom_microprocessors

Several newer Atom CPUs have AES-NI instruction
support.  With AES-NI a 1.6 GHz will "punch
above its weight" as a Tor relay.  AES supports
increases performance for Tor relays by about
2.5 times clock-cycle-for-clock-cycle.
