More likely it would be an ARM CPU and a PowerVR GPU (their current SGX is pretty damned nifty and will be used in Pandora...the last gen MBX is what is used in iPhone and the high end Nokia phones). Texas Instruments' OMAP processors use ARM Cortex A8 and PowerVR SGX currently, but they'll be starting to put out some OMAP products using the multi-core, out-of-order execution Cortex A9 fairly soon. Multi-core, out of order execution ARMs would completely smoke Atom, even dual core Atoms, in both processing ability and savings on battery life. Put that together with SGX, and it'd be completely ridiculous in terms of what it could do.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
