Except that the benchmarks are not accurate in testing the Crusoe.

In short, the difference is that the latest Crusoe CPU C1 Picturebook
actually runs slower! at 600Mhz than the prior model that used a Pentium and
ran at 400Mhz.
www.pcmag.com has benchmarks to look at.
In short, interesting CPU, gives you about 30minutes longer battery life,
but
runs about 1/2 slower than rated. (eg. runs like a 300Mhz Pentium -
600Mhz/2)
quite a step backwards IMO, and happily, it puts the old model into a
lower
price range as an older model, so buyers will reap the benefit of getting
the
fastest Picturebook for lower pricing than the latest model.
