900MHz Celeron 353 vs. 1.6GHz Atom N270

I haven't been able to find much hard data measuring the performance of the 900MHz Intel Celeron M 353. In terms of performance (speed), is it faster than the Atom N270?

I know the Atom is more energy-efficient and generates less heat, but does the Celeron provide snappier performance?

Just curious....

 

Celeron 900 seems to beat the Atom in Super PI, but in other benchmarks the Atom seems to be faster.

But what it really comes down to, I have a NC10 with Atom 1.6 and it's more than fast enough for what I do with it: browsing the web. I use Firefox with flashblock and can easily open up 10+ tabs, even with the Atom clocked to 800Mhz.

 

Thanks for the info and the links. The reason I asked is because I found a 10" ASUS Eee on clearance for $269 with the 900MHz Celeron M 353. I didn't want to post the deal or recommend it to anyone if it didn't offer some sort of advantage over its Atom-based siblings!

 

Performance wise it isn't bad, but it creates more heat and batterylife isn't that good, as far as I know.

I don't think Asus made a 10" with Celeron though.

 

Here's the link to the it- LINK

It shows that it has a 10" WSVGA (1024x600) LED display....
