intel core 2 duo 2.8ghz by a long shot. Its not even funny how much better it is. there is alot more than just clock speed when it comes to a CPU. You have to take the chip architecture into account, the pipeline size, the bus speed, the cache, etc. Im suprised people still offer that chip, AND on top of all that its dual core soooo.....
I suggest you do some reading on the Megahertz Myth (which is what you fell for no offense :P )
heres a link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megahertz_myth
C2d would wipe the floor off a P4 without breaking a sweat.I upgraded from p4 3.2ghz to c2d e6750 and performance in games (Dirt,rainbow six vegas) more than doubled.
I hope that's faster 2 cores and 2 HT ones, probably decently fast. Though I don't own one, I own a netbook with a n280. I want to see if I can swap it wit ha n330, even though Intel is not letting manufactures putting them in netbooks to my knowledge... I think they just get host, but I hope they are electrically compatible.
The 330 is acceptably fast from what I've seen - I've got one in a little Revo and it's gone from HTPC duty to my girlfriend's primacy PC after her laptop died. It's not going to win any speed awards but it's fine for general use and can easily play 1080p content with the ION. It struggles to play back 720p videos with programs with no GPU support, though. A netbook with a 330 and ION graphics would be great, but I don't know if it would work due to space and heat constraints.
