I’m interested in seeing the power data. How much more power, if any, does it require?

Not surprising where they rank, they are based off of 8 year old technology after all. Which is why I am holding out for AMD’s answer which will hopefully sacrifice a little battery for 64 bit(which will be great for Windows 7)

Definitely no powerhouse but good for what it does. I have an ASUS eeePC which works quite well considering its' size and weight. The sound is not too good though.

I'll try to follow up more on this later... but how do these benchmarks compare to those already in existence? For example, the SPEC stuff.

Are we reinventing the wheel?

Since much of the discussion seems to have the Atom as an item of interest....found this very recent article at Anantech:

Intel Unveils Next-Generation Atom Details

************************************EXCERPT*******************************

Date: May 19th, 2009

Today Intel unveiled a few details about its next-generation Atom platform for netbooks and nettops. The current Atom platform for netbooks/nettops is composed of three chips: the Intel Atom processor, Intel’s 945GC GMCH and the ICH7 I/O hub. The UMPC version of the Atom platform is a two chip solution that uses the US15 chipset in addition to the Atom processor.

Let’s first start with breaking down the codenames. The new Atom platform for netbooks/nettops is called Pine Trail. Pine Trail refers to the combination of CPU and chipset.
