if this is merely a prototype for an AMD Neo2/780G based system then i am happy, but i am not interested in it as it is.

Merely a poser…

From what I can tell from the benchmarks, this AMD Chip @ 1.3Ghz would be on par with the Atom @ 1.6Ghz – Unfortunately it’s clocked at 1.2…

And the Radeon X1270 GPU scores 328 on 3DMark06. Which is better than the 100ish that Intel’s integrated scores but well below Asus N10′s 9300M score of 1417 (ION should be a touch higher with the 9400M)

I’m pretty sure some Atom’s are more powerful than the particular AMD inside this. I’ll stick to my dual core Raon Everun Note :P

It is an acer product, Acer is sneaking in this lower powered AMD chip into it’s 11 inch netbook as well. I like the look of the Gateway much better.

Is this a netbook or cheap ultraportable? Hhmmm
