I'm glad they put OOOE back in. Old Atoms were painfully slow and it seemed such a weird omission since the Net Burst days. Now squeeze that sucker onto a phone and give me Ubuntu on it. :P

3x performance is leading you up the garden path a bit when it has twice as many cores and they were running a multi core test.
Also 1.8GHz vs 2.4GHz
Doing a bit of scaling math the old design would of scored 1.46 if it had equal clockspeed / cores.
So performance per clock has hardly improved at all!
Performance per watt though, now we're talking!

Agreed. Buying into Intel clovertrail platform turned me from a 20 year fan of Intel into an Intel hater overnight.

Ah but it has improved for a single thread, and that is where it was needed.
Still, the last Atom was a dog of a CPU, comparing the new one to a that mess it really *should* look good.
