Atom 1.1 vs 1.6 for Java Swing

[matanyacohen]

I not find on the Internet info about compare this CPU to Pentum.
I wonder if cam compare it to Pentum 3 800M?

I need to know if 1.1 suit to simple Java Swing Single application on Linux?

Also fro the Website I not clear what is the first configuration of 1.6 version:
fit-PC2 Diskless
1.6 GHz, 1GB RAM, WiFi -301$

1. Have one with no WiFi?
2. Diskless if SSD? what is size?

Hi matanyacohen

Your only option is to order the Fit-Pc2 Turbo Diskless, which still provides the wireless, but you can either disable the wireless, or remove the Mini PCI-E card.

As for an SSD option, there is no version with a SSD disk, however you can purchase a SSD through your favorite retailer and install it into the Fit-PC2 using the SATA connector inside.

As for the CPU comparison, using this resource, the Atom Z530 clocked at 1.6 GHz scored a 296, the Atom Z510 clocked at 1.1 GHz scored a 163, where a Pentium 3, 800 Mhz (mobile) clocks at 186

Review:
Atom Z530 - 1.6 GhZ - 296
Pentium 3 - 800 Mhz - 186
Atom Z510 - 1.1 GhZ - 163

So there is a vast improvement using the 1.6 Ghz model over the old pentium chip

Web resource ( http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup. ... 40+1.60GHz )

Please note that the scored mentioned above are scored by PassMark, and end-user results will vary.

Cheers.

Fair warning: This customer contacted us prior to writing this post, and we do offer models with SSD and/or without WiFi. However, the customer chose to post this question anyway.

The provided link does not look very reliable since for some CPUs (including Z510) it's based on very few (1-2) samples. Under fundamentals of statistics, only >30 samples can be considered enough to represent the real population. Z530 cannot provide twice the performance of Z510. It could be that the hyper-threading of Z530 was mistakenly detected by the testing software as "second Core" - which is not the case of course. A second thread can only provide 5%-15% boost in performance while a second Core can provide 100% boost if it's used.

I never liked those types of test anyways, and because of the post, there was no previous engagement mentioned.

No harm and no foul, as I suspect matanyacohen had already made up her/his mind.

Atom 1.6GHZ has hyperthreading, 1.1 has not.
FSB is also faster.
See intel Z530 / Z510 processors specs.
