Atom and Nano benches ??

i'm interested in seeing how well these might perform price/performance wise with distributed computing, notably boinc's benchmark so i can compare.

anyone own a cheap atom setup yet ?


thanks
 
From what I've read, a Celeron-M @ 1,3 GHz is faster than an Atom @ 1,3 GHz. In that respect, I don't think that the Atom is a good choice for DC, unless you don't care about output at all but rather about low power consumption - in that area, none beats the Atom as far as I know.
 
I'm pretty sure the Atom systems have the new SSE (3 i think?) so even if it doesn't perform as well on synthetic benchmarks it may perform better on the highly optimized code of DC apps.

Those few which use SSE3 anyway.

Btw what's an atom & nano?
Click to expand...

the atom is intel's newest low power chip
the nano is via's newest low power chip (isaiah)

i think the nano will be more powerfull, but gotta wait for the benchmarks


 
It appears to do a SETI WU that earns around 50 credits in around six hours.

A similar WU on my Pentium M 1700 MHz notebook takes around four hours. Checking the energy consumption, my notebook is using 41.5 watts (per my Kill-A-Watt).

How many watts is the atom system using?
 
i'm guessing by the naming convention of the US15W chipset intel will be releasing for it, and the fact that via's 65nm competitor pulls about 13W stated by them, that it's between 15-20watts ...

so maybe half what your laptop pulls
