The Atom is seriously beating the Isaiah on power consumption though. The 1.6 GHz Atom has a max TDP of only 2.5 watts, whereas the 1.6GHz Isaiah has a max TDP of 25 watts.

This is kind of like saying a BMW beats a Ferrari in cargo capacity, so the BMW is a better car.

The whole point of the Atom is to be small and efficient. If it can have reasonable performance (and that's what the graph shows me), all the better.
