I must be missing something.

I see the NEW and still unavailable Cortex A9 board in a cardboard box (DUAL CORE) as SLOWER than the 2 year old Atom (SINGLE CORE) that you can buy now !

Gee. Where can I get that nice cardboard box design?

The point is the clock speeds. 1600MHz for the Atom and 500MHz for the Cortex-A9. Yet browsing performance is very similar and the ARM does it all at a fraction of the power.

Thanks Eric, for a very informative demonstration of a Cortex-A9 in real world situations.

You certainly left the best bit till last. The clock speed vs performance is astounding.

CES 2010 is going to be an amazing show for ARM.

I guess that's some serious efficiency on the right

Definitivamente, a Intel perdeu a mão com processadores de baixo consumo de energia.

[MrGoDuck]

I want to see a Kal-El comparison with Atom.

I'm not too sure about power consumption figures but I would assume they're not very different.

@maroom1 Your figures are wrong... and you are comparing a low end A9.. I am talking about the 2Ghz Quad Core A9..... I still dare you to find an Intel Atom that tops that one...

[maroom1]

@Cybertronic72388

You are lying. ARM Cortex A9 (dual core) @ 1GHz is 5,000 MIPS

While Atom N270 (single core) @ 1.6GHz is 3,846 MIPS

So, how it has 5x more MIPS ?

@bsoft16384

Oh men

What are you doing here, is nothing but talk about the bush and this brings about the same as if you had not said.

[StevensiTX]

@snowboard9

The ARM Cortex 8 or 9 hav much better performance per watt than this Atom waste

Excelent video 

[MeatPoPsiclez]

From a usability standpoint this video made it clear that a 500mhz arm c9 is fast enough to do general web browsing.

However, the comparing it to a first gen atom is really arbitrary. They could easily have compared it to a recent via cpu and seen the same results, since 99% of what they showed was limited by internet transfer speed and response time.

My core2duo laptop running at 600mhz (a valid option enabled with the third party tool rmclock) runs firefox/chrome just fine... just saying.

the ARM processor has a strong pair of legs!!! V Fast for its MHz and power consumption. x86 is like a fat hungry chicken that drinks gasoline the ARM is like a humming bird on crack powered by a high torque electric rotor strapped to its back.
