Intel's New Atom D510 Benchmark Tested 86
adeelarshad82 writes "The Atom processor in nettops and netbooks is one of Intel's success stories for 2009. Recently PCMag put the new Intel Atom D510 processor through its paces, to see how it stacks up against previous generation Atom CPUs. Using a whitebox system from Intel, they ran their usual set of benchmark tests on the system. In summary the D510-equipped whitebox finished neck and neck with the dual-core powered Acer R3610-U9012. So while there are differences between the two, if you already have a nettop running the dual-core Intel Atom 330 processor you won't have to upgrade 'just because' there's a new CPU in the wings."

This shit is modded up? It should be marked -1 Troll as that's what it is.
Unlike you, some of us left the MS treadmill long ago so our apps run just fine on ARM. Many of the apps I use on my desktop Linux machine even work on Debian I have running in a bootstrap on my G1 cellphone. Just because you are locked in through your combination of fear/ignorance/laziness doesn't mean everyone else is too.
