The dual core Intel Atom 330 processor held its own in Sandra's CPU-specific test, compared to similarly equipped CPUs, but it's obviously not going to compete very well against more powerful processors. During our tests, the processor held up fine for basic tasks, but you are likely to see limitations, especially if you're multitasking or really pushing the processor.

Looking at the Processor Multi-Media test, the ET2002's Atom 330 edges out the reference Atom 330, yet it still falls behind other more powerful Intel offerings. As we've mentioned, we found the ET2002 to be acceptable in playing back high definition content, though experiences will definitely vary depending on the source media type and resolution of that clip.
