I read some of the Intel documentation of the Atom processor family after Eric posted his nice numbers on the Wiki. There's fairly bewildering and evolving specifications of a bunch of chips under "Atom" and the differences are not just single- vs dual-core. So far I know about the Atom 200 series (single-core) and the Atom 300 series (dual-core) targeting desktops, the Atom N27x series (single-core) targeting laptops, and the Atom Z5xx series (single-core) apparently targeting so-called Mobile-Internet-Devices (MIDs). Of course, there are also different speeds available and there are two different 945 chipsets supporting the Atom processors so far. I'm not savvy enough to be able to infer from the Intel documentation how the specializations built into these various processor series and chipsets will affect EMC2 performance. I confess I got uneasy as I read about the complex interplay of software-selectable power states and clock speeds that has been made available to lower the total dissipated power (TDP) during operation and increase battery life. It'll be interesting to see what folks discover as they explore different board/chipset/cpu combos. Eric's and Thomas' data are certainly encouraging while at the same time showing real differences. As ever, be specific to be terrific when reporting results.
