OK, good specs. The The Raspberry Pi should work. They cost about $40 each.
The Atom is about $100 and has just over your 5 watt limit but is very much easier to set up, becuase it is just a standard PC and can run a "normal" version of Linux or BSD Unix. I'd go with a Pi for NTP but if you need any other kind of server, perhaps a NAS for backups then go with Atom and it can run multiple services and still keep very good time. I had one doing this until recently when the mainboard failed after years of running 24x7 It must be a system < 5 watt, so probably an ARM system.
