They're using Atom-based (old 2008 pre-Silvermont Atom architecture) Avoton "microserver chips" that Intel launched in 2013:

If you want cheap VPS with good performance and reliability you may want to take a look at these as well:

I don't think either are using Atom. VPSDime is just overselling, but I haven't heard anyone complain about been bottlenecked, so they probably do it in a smart way (taking resources from those who don't use them fully).
