Btw the 'mighty' Atom, which is supposed to threaten AMD mobile sales according to you, manages to lose in everything to a Via chip lol ! Afraid not. It beats the Nano in every single power test. That's what its intended for mas, not performance. Why wasn't there any AMD chip in these tests? Looks to me like another market AMD is locked out of by their own hand.

From your link: Yet if you ask Intel or Via about it, they'll both tell you that the CPUs aren't really natural rivals on all fronts. The Atom is a smaller, simpler chip that can go places the Nano can't, thanks to much lower power envelopes for many Atom models. Meanwhile, the Nano looks to break new performance ground for what is essentially a commodity x86 processor. You seem to have a reading comprehension problem... Smooth
