Stop trying to make Intel’s Atom processor do things it wasn’t made to do. I previewed the Atom’s performance last June, here’s the Atom 270 running at 1.6GHz under SYSMark 2007:
The Celeron 420 is the slowest Conroe-based Intel CPU you can purchase today. It’s a single-core processor. The Pentium M 1.6GHz, also a single-core processor, came out in 2004; it’s slower than an Athlon 64 2800+. Both of these processors are nearly twice as fast as the 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor. Stop it.
Intel never intended for Atom to be compared to modern day processors; the core will eventually compete against ARM processors, nothing from the x86 world. It’s being heavily used in netbooks today simply because it’s not small enough or low power enough to be used in anything significantly more svelte.
