Everyone wants a new generation ultra-portable pumping the Atom
processor right? After all, it's Intel's latest and greatest Centrino
proc. Not so fast... literally. Impress got their hands on an
unofficially released MSI Wind PC (the mini-PC, not the low-cost
laptop) and subjected the 1.33GHz Atom processor to a suite of standard
tests. While the source is in machine-translated Japanese, that table
comparing the Atom with Eee PC 900's Celeron and a typical ULV Core 2
Duo found in a wide range of full-sized, ultra-portable laptops speaks
for itself. Keep in mind though that Intel's Atom is supposed to be
less power hungry than its peers and CPU benchmarking is hardly the
last word when it comes to determining real-world laptop performance --
read/writes to disk, memory, and other system nuances must also be
considered. Nevertheless, based on this table and other mounting
evidence, first and second generation Eee PC owners shouldn't feel any
compulsion to rush out and upgrade to Atom on day 1.
