The Geode @ 500MHz takes 3:47 to render a scene. A 3.0GHz Pentium 4 takes 0:30 to render the same scene. If you normalized the clocks, it means the Pentium 4 would take 3:00 to render the scene, and that's if the scaling were linear. Most likely, it would take <3:00 for Pentium 4 to render the scene @ 500MHz. That means Geode is clock for clock slower than Pentium 4. But it only runs at 500MHz. Damn wbmw, talk about apples to oranges... Geode is designed for low power, critical in OLPC. Care to speculate as to how your "clock normalized P4" would compare in perf/watt? perf/watt/dollar? PCB footprint? etc. etc. etc. fpg
