According to this Super Pi benchmark:

The 1.6 Ghz atom processor is weaker than a Dothan 900 Mhz Celeron-M. That would put it in about the same ballpark as the C7-M, I believe. I suppose good enough for a MID but I was hoping for better from a handtop.

Given Intel have not mentioned performance at all, I have my suspicions
But is it a problem if all they have done is catch up with the oqo chip, but with a bit more battery life?

Ok, I take back what I said about the C7-M being about equivalent to the Atom on Super-Pi. I ran the 1 million Super Pi test on my OQO 02 and it takes almost 10 minutes. I forgot the FPU performance was so bad. On overall (mostly Integer) performance the 1.5 Ghz C7M is a little slower than a 1 Ghz Pentium M, which leads me to believe it will be in the same ballpark as the Atom.

Actually I'm quite suprised by that , I had expected the Atom to be slow givent thats what everyone has been predicting

my c7 1.5g can run 1m super pi with 5 min. But the above bench may be is a fake one. The legends in the plot are not matched! Do you think a serious bench would do like this way?
