Netbook performance - 1.33 GHz vs 1.6/1.66 GHz Atom

Netbook performance - 1.33 GHz vs 1.6/1.66 GHz Atom

All new 11" netbooks seem to carry 1.33 GHz Atom Z520 CPU instead of 1.6/1.66 GHz Atom N270/N280. The screen resolution of 11" netbooks make them very appealing, but I'm a bit concerned about their performance as they carry a slower CPU than the 1.6GHz Atom, which isn't a great performer in the first place.

"I have tried 1080p on an Atom 330 (dual core + HT) with CoreAVC and it works pretty well, so I assume 720p will work on it.

I've also read on some forums that the single core, hyperthreaded atoms can play 720p with CoreAVC."
