Correct, but for nettops where power isn't as much of a concern, I think these will be just fine. And while the Atom sips power, the whole 945GSE platform needs 11W, so its really only fair to compare the overall platforms of each. Finally, everyone needs to remember that the Atom platform uses the ancient GMA950, NOT the newer GMA 3000/4500H/etc GPUs. The AMD Neo platform and the Nvidia Ion platform each have 5X better graphics and video decoding than the POS Atom is running on. A shame really.
