Intel Atom vs Via C7 SoCs

rsatd · 11 Feb 2010 at 23:37

Anyone in the know as to performance between these two?

Basically my google-fu netted nothing of any real use. Would like to find out more, as to what I should be expecting between VIA C7 EDEN 1.2Ghz and Atom Z515 CPU (1.2GHz).

Please help a google-fu failure.

the link will give you an idea how good the via nano are.

the eden C7 is embedded so no future cpu upgrades.

Im sure the new atom 5** series are faster.

Both cpu's have no upgrade potential but the atom is clearly faster and has access to better gpu technology

Oh yeah, they are socs, think with the atom, the ram chip is soldered, in the device I want. But been looking into it (when I stopped flailing at google-fu), atom gpu has 4x the ram and more hardware decoders for multimedia applications.
