there has already been a benchmark released. A similar clocked atom is SLOWER than a dothan chip (yes even the celeron) but what i am interested in is how much the battery life will improve (pretty much a guarantee that it will). Check a previous EEE post for the benchmark link (its in the comments)
It's worth noting the test was SuperPI, which is unlikely to be very indicative of other tasks. Still, I wouldn't want to do anything computationally intensive on it, like encoding.
i disagree. i dont think encoding is an important criterion to these UMPC/smaller devices-bound chips. if anything, it should be tested for video decoding and multi threaded applications, given that it is hyper threaded.

We Need a freaking atom vs Celeron test.
could the US release be delayed waiting foe the atom, 1 processor type of deal?
