if you read comments on that website you’ve taken the graph, you can see that there is no big performance difference between n and z series since after heavy load on z series, temperature rises and cpu throttles. speed goes down to 800 MHz insted of 1600. just read myvaiop’s comment,

This is not a fair comparison. To be so dismissive of the hardware video decoding in the GMA 500+Z_Atom is wrong. The difference in the newer chipset’s ability to play back 720p or 1080i video with the CPU being at 20-30% is a huge plus!

On my N280+GMA 950 can BARELY playback a 720p mkv, it runs at 100% Cpu, drops frames… But I can play the same file at 20-30% cpu perfectly smooth on the z520+GMA500 netbook.

For other uses like surfing the web, word processing, etc. it’s perfectly fast on Windows 7. If you are worried about benchmark tests or ripping audio/video buy a proper laptop with a core duo that can crunch the numbers.

Use a netbook for what it was meant for!

I’m ashamed of finding my fellow Indians repeatedly asking stupid questions and demand answers/solutions in every other forum or discussion board!

Glad am not finding any here!

Also plz tell me that how much cache is it with n280 and z530…

does that mean netbooks intended with 1366*786 resolution cant use n280 processor.r they restricted to use z series for high res and n series for low res….pleasssss explain this..

Thank you, everyone has been waving their hands when it comes to discussing the N and Z series atoms usually stating the N is “better” without any kind of elaboration. Just this little bit of information has helped me a lot.
