Agreed! IMO, though, this test is reasonably fair across processors and memory arch.

Yep!

Hence it relegation to a SOHO asterisk/freePBX machine. On the PRO side: to be fair, at 3 GHz, it plows through the job very well. On the CON side: It sucks power, does NOT have HPET timer source (which would help asterisk), and doesn't have the working SSE3 (sic) and 4 extensions (which the CODECs would appreciate).

ATOM address all the CONS. The ATOM follow-on, the PINEVIEW, though yet unseen, is expected 1Q2010 and is alleged to blow everything away (except its i7 brother).
