Really hard to tell. esp. for audio applications. I also have no clue how efficient supercollider is.. Are you using supernova to make use of multiple cores? As rule of thumb: Atom CPUs processing power is comparable to that of an i3 of the same clock-freq. But most Atom chipsets lack some CPU features - e.g virtualization support. Yet Atom != Atom and i3 != i3 ; it really depends on the model. I suppose the only way to tell is to try.. What I really like about Atom CPUs for audio is that they can run fan-less. best, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
