The ARM Cortex-A9 Can Beat Out The Intel Atom
The Cortex-A9 on ORIGEN carried another win over the clocked-down Intel Atom N450 when both were using the same GCC 4.7.1 compiler from Gentoo and the x86 Atom CPU being built for x32 and x86_64 architectures.
The Intel Atom was still faster though for OpenSSL.
The ARMv7 A9 went back to winning when it came to audio encoding for both MP3 and FLAC formats.
