It's unclear whether SuperPI measures anything of interest to the potential market of such CPUs! It would definitely be interesting to see appropriate comparisons, especially if they included ARM systems. Regards, Nick Maclaren.

So the quad core ARM Cortex is 2x smaller, uses 1.5x less power and is twice as fast according to the competition's benchmark results? Impressive. How much cheaper is the ARM? I think Intel are really sticking their necks out by making statements like: "Thus, the average power consumption of Atom is lower" - http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20080403/149992/ -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/?u
