There seem to be a lot of people here basing their perception of the Atom on its current use in netbooks. Not only are these now previous-generation architectures, but they're running Windows 7 in most instances. It makes no sense to assume the performance of current-gen Atom netbooks will have any bearing on the performance of Moorestown if it is used in the N9.
Moreover, why does having two cores automatically make people assume ARM > Intel. Things like clock speed, number of cores etc. only matter in relation to other CPUs of the same arcitecture that have or do not have these features. They have no bearing on how Moorestown will compare to Tegra 2, etc.

If Nokia pulls this off... I actually might buy it. Why? Because it's gonna piss off the hardcore Nokia fans.
Seriously... would an Intel chip be so much of a problem?

Why would it piss off the hardcore Nokia fans? It's not like most people actually have any clue about what CPU is in their phone.
Although it seems the most clueless people are the ones with the strongest opinions, I think that's just a temporary problem due to the fact it is completely unproven architecture. I'm actually having trouble figuring out what is going on with that, I can only find 2-3 "phones" using it and none were ever released publicly, just some prototype / development devices. I would assume it's not that great and therefore skipped over, but upon doing some research I conclude that Intel wanted a proper OS and was delayed as Moblin merged with Maemo, so they were able to take some time and get Medfield ready meanwhile...

But, none of that necessarily has anything to do with what Meego handset Nokia will be launching (which will most likely be ARM-based).
it would be a good comeback to nokia PR wise if their HW would be fastest available at the moment with similar battery life compared to other devices...
personally I don't care what architechture a device uses. and I bet meego as an os feels the same....

As long as I can dual boot Windows 7 on it, I'll be happy.

Hardware rumours are so boring nowadays, as the hardware is not really relevant anymore since a few years. It's all about apps and software ecosystems.
That's the reason while Nokia is struggling so hard these days, to make that switch.

All i want to know is if the n9 going to have a keyboard or not because i would like the option to use one.
where's your references?
and we're getting something better than this, probably. assuming the n9 is based on the 'reference platform' which we just confirmed to be running at 1.6ghz.
