New Intel Atom CPUs will be faster than Phenom II
 

Chipzilla has decided that AMD is best dealt with by using futuristic product pledges. Bill Leszinske, the General Manager, Technology Planning of the Atom SoC Development Group at Intel, claimed that future Atoms would be faster than AMD's Phenom II.

Apparently this transition will take a while, but by 2015 people will apparently be saying that the mobile Atom chip is better than the Phenom II of three years ago. Sorry Bill, but we would bloody well hope so. Four years down the road with a shedload of development we hope tablets will be a little faster than the asthmatic ants carrying a heavy load of shopping. If they are as fast as a four year old PC chip we would think that is a little sad.
