Dual Core A9 should have the same amount of power available as Intel Atom or possibly more, but with 0.44W vs 2W Intel seems quite far behind in the race.
Hope ARM notebooks will be available soon. Idle power use with ARM chips is also way better. Nokia N810 which uses an older ARM Core can last over 5 days in standby with its small battery.

In the paper things are simple: i386 "more popular" architecture and the increase in performance against ARM's mobile expertice, but with netbooks, MIDs and god only knows how many other possible applications that make the line between desktop and mobile computing more blurry, it's hard to tell who will ultimately "win"... if that's ever going to happen.]]>Mar 3rd 2009 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/Mar 4th 2009 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/
Googled about the Z500 and found this:

If the slides are objective and can be trusted then ARM crushes Intel.
Hope Intel can make a better chip than the Z500 since more competition to ARM means lower prices to customers.]]>Mar 4th 2009 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/Mar 3rd 2009 8:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/Mar 3rd 2009 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/Intel the Almighty, plz unleash the HD video playback Mota!!]]>Mar 3rd 2009 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/Mar 3rd 2009 9:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/Mar 4th 2009 12:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/Different architecture yes but they are targeting also the netbook & MID market in addition to cellphones.
I think they can be compared when talking about the netbook & embedded devices market. x86 is outdated. If Intel doens't make significant changes and optimizations to Atom and Linux becomes more common and popular since XP doesn't run on ARM, Intel will have no chance.

@Eleazar
Yeah I forgot to clarify I was talking about netbooks in particular, not automobile specific applications. My comment was mildly off-topic since this article is about specialized uses instead of netbooks.]]>Mar 3rd 2009 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/Mar 3rd 2009 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/Mar 3rd 2009 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/intel-intros-specialized-atom-for-cars-and-other-devices-outsou/1.6ghz - 1.6ghz
