Intel is finally bringing the low-cost PC world a dual-core version of the
wildly popular Atom processor with the Atom 330. The CPU runs at 1.6 GHz and
sports a pair of cores that both support HyperThreading for a total of four
threads of computing. Will the Atom 330 revolutionize the performance levels
of netbooks? Can it compete with the performance of the VIA Nano CPU
finally?

Quote: "The performance results for the Atom 330 processor are actually very
impressive - in a lot of our tests the scaling percentages from a single
core to the dual-core CPU are approaching or over 100%! Of course, it helps
with the applications we are benchmarking with are basically starved for
processing power with any of derivative of the Atom or Nano processor so
that every additional floating point operation available is quickly gobbled
up."

Thanks for a post!
