Review: Intel CPU plays HD better than a slideshow
Very interesting review here: http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/2700/18/cpu-shoot-out-intel-atom-d2700-vs-amd-e-450-video-compatibility
As expected, the AMD E450 smashes the Atom D2700 in performance. In 3DMark the AMD chip gets a score of 2430, while the Intel achieves a pitiful 500!!
The Intel D2700 can't even play HD video continuously, though the reviewer says it's better than a slide show.
But, what is more surprising is the fact that the E450 built with TSMC's bulk 40nm process consumes LESS electricity than the Intel D2700 under load.
