These benchmarks are for the Atom N230, as opposed to the dual-core
Atom N330, so not really a valid comparison. Clearly, any dual-core
chip will always outperform a comparable single-core chip.
For me, there's a some likelihood that even an Atom N230 will still
outperform the Pentium-M that I have in my laptop at the moment, so
for me, anything would really be an improvement. Having a dual-core
Atom for a build machine would mean 4 concurrent threads instead of 2.
I guess I should really just ask ...
Has anyone recently upgraded their Gentoo machine from a single-core
to a dual-core processor, and if so, was there a clearly noticeable
increase in build speed ?
