Archos 5 is faster then an Intel powered MID
Posted by Charbax on September 4th, 2008
According to this video:
The ARM Cortex processor by Texas Instruments, used in the Archos 5, Archos 5G and Archos 7 is faster then the Intel Atom processor when running Firefox 3 both on Linux at the same frequency.
The current Cortex frequency might be lower then the ones in currently sold Intel Atom processors, but you also have to consider the ARM Cortex uses much less power (0.3W) and costs much less to implement.
