From here, that looks more like improving performance, slaughtering battery life, and breaking compatibility. Centrino Atom (previously Menlow) has ground-breakingly low power-consumption for x86-compatible processors, but not overall.

And going ARM -> x86 in a similar device seems ******ed. It's almost time for a new design at any rate; if Nokia wants to jump on Intel's MID bandwagon, they could do so with a fresh design, instead of basing it off the N810 which is designed to be highly compatible with the N800.
