As expected, dual core Atom chips not twice as fast
Liliputing — ... The folks at PC Pro recently ran a raft of benchmark tests on a computer with an Intel Atom 330, the first dual core Atom CPU from Intel. The chip has the same 1.6GHz clock speed as the Intel Atom N270 chip used in netbooks. But in PC Pro’s tests, it only performed 16% faster. ...

Dual-Core Atom Not Much Faster Than Single-Core
Wired: Gadget Lab — ... result? The average speed boost across a range of gruelling tests showed the new chip to be just 16% faster than the old one. And remember, this is the desktop version. Not until there is a netbook-ready iteration will anybody be able to test the 330's effect on battery life. If things stay the same, then great -- a little boost is better than nothing, right? But if it uses any more power than the current Atom, forget it. Netbooks need every ounce of juice they can get. Dual-core Atom 330 benchmarked [PC Pro] ...

Want an Atom 330-based Mac Mini? No, you don't
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence — ... Check the benchmarks, the Duallie Atom 330 is rated at less than 2/3rds the speed of the Pentium D circa 2005-2006 for most tasks.  This is great when sold at $30/chip and put into a $300 Netbook to run a browser on XP or Linux, but definitely not aimed at the $600-$800 Mac DESKTOP market.  A Pentium D isn't even as fast as the current Mac Mini's chip so the slowdown would certainly be noticeable. ...
