You guys really think my celeron is faster then the ATOM? No way. With it being 700mhz slower, not a chance is it faster.

You cannot use frequency to compare different architectures.

Oh god..

Both the Celeron M and Atom line is based on the netburst architecture. Only the Atom is 45nm while the Celeron is 65nm.

The atom is described below in another post.

The Celeron M 353 seen in current netbooks is Dothan based:

You're wrong. Again, from this very site:

The team went back to a clean sheet of paper and started with the simplest of microprocessor architectures, a single-issue, in-order core and built up from there.

cant really say that w/o providing benchmarks for comparison

Not even necessary.

P4 Netburst
2.0Ghz
L1: 12KB instruction cache +6kb Write back cache
L2: 256K
400mhz FSB
133mhz DDR
120nm

Intel Atom N270
1.6 Ghz
L1: 32KB instruction, 24KB Write Back
L2: 512k
533MHZ
533mhz DDR2
45nm

That sort of comparison doesn't prove anything.

Benchmarks on this very site show that a 1.6Ghz Atom is comparable with an 800Mhz Pentium M. HERE.

yea the atom CPU is f'in whack. i dont care how low the power consumption is, its too weak for 2008 (when it came out.) it can't even run 2008's OS which is Vista. maybe if the netbook cost $100-200, DEF NEVER over $200.

Mine runs Vista fine, runs Windows 7 just as well.
