It's really doesn't matter in this case since WinRT is mostly limited to IE (MS didn't open Win API to third party, so no Google V8 javascript engine is expected in the near future). Someone was worried about how fast Atom can load web pages in Win8 - so it's pretty much fast (faster than tegra3 in IE and a lot faster when using desktop chrome)

The new Intel multimedia benchmark used by AnandTech: TouchXPRT 2013 is another brainchild
of dr Who's boss Shervin Kheradpir, General Manager of Intel's Performance Benchmarking and Analysis
Group and founding President of Bapco (via HDXPRT/Principled Technologies)

You mean the benchmark is crippled?

The 1.3GHz Quad core A9 Tegra 3 comes out worse as the 1.8GHz Dual core Atom. Well for bandwidth limited
multimedia benchmarks that's not that hard to do considering the 32bit bus on the Tegra 3 versus the 64bit
bus on the Z2760, Apple uses 128 bit buses and Samsung's Exynos 5450 will have a 128 bit bus as well I guess.
Most of the other new SOC's use 64 bit buses.

Doesn't matter either. The only cpus currently supported by WinRT are tegra3, krait and something old from TI.
