Fudo Gets Some Atom Hands-On Time

No matter what you think about Fudzilla and the brand of journalism that the site pushes out, I had a chance to speak with Fudo on Friday and he gave me a recount of his hands-on Atom experience. He shares it with us and is worth a look if you give a damn about this kind of thing.

We didn't really have much time to play with this Atom N230-based setup, but as you can see the CPU doesn't really do well in multi-media applications. It doesn't even render that well, as Cinebench was incredibly slow, slower than we've seen in years.

My thoughts on this is that Atom is about to get put into a bunch of applications better cut out for processors like the VIA Nano and that the Atom will be more at home in much more mobile-esque devices. But wtf do I know?
