Although surprised at first,when looking at the benchmark results, it seems obvious the Atom clearly wins in several benchmarks; not only in Winrar. So I don't understand why mention AMD Wins. Obviously noone is going to disable HT on the Atom!
A second thing I might say is that the AMD clearly lacks in memory speed for some reason. I wished some explanation could be given about that, since I don't remember FSB of each processor, and memory core speed out of my head.
The 1066Mhz memory clearly benefits the celeron.
I know it may be useless, but how would the results be if this test was run on 533Mhz memory speed for all processors?
Another mention in the article says,that one can have HD resolution 1900x1200.. something, but does that mean you can play back HD movies?
Playing back DVD already gets you 67%CPU.
I know the Atom can run DivX/XviD compressed 720P movies, but not 1080P.
Test results will be appreciated!
About the use of a 'single-phase controller', can one disable the mounted controllers by unsoldering and removing them (leaving only one or two on the board)?
Also, suppose the single-phase controller goes up in smoke because of inserting a too power greedy processor, or wrong settings of the FSB,wouldn't it make more sence to use a dual-phase controller, to prevent damage,and yet still maintain a good performance of the system,and compatibility with multiple other processors out there?
The problem with the AMD processor is that it's single threaded, and boottimes will be slower with this processor than with the Atom.
People usually boot their pc more often than compressing MP3/video, or rendering images with their lower powered internet system.
It'slike trying to run Futuremark's Vantage on it. Doesn't make sence.
Ifyouwanna try a benchmark for lower powered machines, 3Dmark '03 and '05 make more sence.
