I think the Atoms pretty much beat the living daylights out of the C7 
stuff, which were based on an architecture many generations old. some of 
the core I3/i5 laptop chips are very low power, too, and nearly as 
powerful as modern 2-4 core desktop processors..    the current 
'Pentiums' are somewhere in between the Atom and the low end of the Core 
line.
