But you can get some impression about the perf diff. between Atom D510 and Athlon x2 3250e.

As you can see, the average perf. diff. in the real world is much less then 2x.


What's real world got to do with anything? AMD has been promoting real world testing and usage scenarios for years now, yet has fallen on deaf ears for the most part.

-journalists/reviewers still use 800x600 gaming resolutions to test CPU performance.
-journalists/reviewers still use SPi to test CPU performance.
-journalists/reviewers still use $1000 CPU's to to test $100 GPU's
-journalists/reviewers still compare $1000 CPU's to $100 CPU's.
-journalists/reviewers still test notebook battery life at the lowest and highest extremes. Nothing in between.

And the list goes on and on...

Boinc is a lot more real world than anything listed above.
