E8500 vs. Atom 330

Can these charts be right?

Is doesn't seem like I would be loosing much by going with a new pinetrail ATOM keeping everything else the same.



background: thinking about downsizing to a nettop.

Huh? We looking at the same chart here? The atom is destroyed in every benchmark by a huge margin lol.

ROFL what? Hilarious post is hilarious.

heh, thanks.

it's ironic that the D510 is almost clock-for-clock with a single core K8. slowly but surely they'll become decent.

lol, oh man...I need to stop posting...must be the over tired first time parent thing....sorry about that.


at first glance I didn't see the "lower is better." ....and I should of known better.

You thought it actually performed 5x better than the Core in some cases?

Yes, you should sleep.

Its all about the L2 Cache.

At least it's Netburst performance, but at 1/1000 of the Netburst power consumption.

Well you definitely got a lot of us shout WTF at that headline. I was readying up a hailstorm of OMGWTFBBQ to throw your way.

You don't know how many customers I get looking at netbooks for their main computer system. Pretty much everybody does some form of multi tasking ie. listen to music while browsing the web etc. etc.... And then I also see around 30% of them getting returned because it doesn't work properly (how customers describe slowness and crap tackiness)
