Pitting the VIA Nano against the Intel Atom

The folks over at HotHardware managed to get their hands on a mini-ITX reference platform with a VIA's new Nano L2100 1.8GHz processor. For purposes of comparison, they pitted it with an Atom 230 processor clocked at 1.6GHz. HotHardware ran a battery of tests on both platforms (you can check out the full review if this is your cup of tea).

Bearing in mind the unavoidable differences in the processor speed, the VIA Nano appears to be a stronger performer across a variety of workloads. But with Intel's superior financial clout, the landscape could change relatively quickly, of course. In the meantime however, OEMs will do well to adopt the current generation of C7-based products to the pin-compatible VIA Nano for its superior performance. And yes, HP's popular Mini-Note 2133 does come to mind here.
