Tweaktown ran a test using a standard MPEG4 video. Their Intel Atom test system ran at 61% CPU usage to play the video. Their VIA Nano test system ran at just 23% CPU usage. " Thats such an unfair comparison as the VIA Nano motherboard chipset has onboard support for video acceleration so the CPU is bound to be doing less work!! “The Via Nano doesn’t need to work as hard to generate the same results.

But to be honest I'm not sure the majority of consumers will be too aware of the different chips.
