Comparing to Isaiah 1.0Ghz CrystalMark score, the war just begun. About OQO model03, rumors said it may possibly use Isaiah, but not confirmed yet.

Comparing to Isaiah 1.0Ghz CrystalMark score, the war just begun.

Looks to me like Isaiah won't have a competitive advantage over the Atom... at least the C7 was cheaper than the Pentium-M. Lets hope OQO brings out the Model 03 with the 1.86GHz CPU soon! A revised (and cheaper) Shift would be nice as well. Even the Pentium-M ULV was more powerful/watt compared to the C7 ULV.

I just tested my HP Mini 2133 1Ghz version with XP, and it got ALU 1628, FPU 1595." Not itn's not that the Atom is really "that good" it's just that the C7 is really that bad. The C7 is just a dog. It had it's place in the market several years ago, but it's time has come and gone. It offers neither power-savings nor performance that make it at all attractive. What it offered was low low cost and availablity that HP needed to get their netbook into production to be available for schools to buy for this school year. The C7 is dead, make way for Isaiah! “Is Atom 800Mhz really that good? I just tested my HP Mini 2133 1Ghz version with XP, and it got ALU 1628, FPU 1595.”

The ALU and the FPU tests are unaffected by drivers, and it scales nearly 100% with CPU clock speed. From here: http://www.tweaks2k2.com/Vista_score.htm If we scale the clock to 1.86GHz the ALU score would come out to be 4200 and FPU as 4000, which is better than what Q1P with Pentium M 1GHz would score, and that's NOT accounting for hyperthreading. By the way, some questioned that the good integer performance doesn't help games, but good FP will. IT IS WRONG. FP operations are done on GPUs and integer operations help with handling the drivers, running the AI and Physics. Not bad, for a 800MHz version without Hyperthreading.
