One of my coworkers just bought a fusion powered micro-laptop thing for about $400. I'm impressed...the form factor is slightly larger than netbooks, but that means the keyboard is actually usable, the battery life is great, and it actually performs better than my girlfriend's 1.2ghz core 2 duo laptop.<p>So I'm surprised when this article says the fusion processor is not beating the pants off of atom processors in benchmarks. Why would real world performance be so much better than benchmarks would indicate?
