The soon to be launched Nanobook is based mainly in this mini-ITX platform, so it's a good time for a review about it's performance. TweakTown has it.

They say it's a huge improvement over the old C3 and partner chipset, just don't get your hopes high. For example, against a Sempron 2800+ (Socket 754), looses by a score of 421 - 576 under WorldBench 5.0 (*). That's not very good news, considering the primary focus of this platform is productivity. Don't you even bother about gaming. Despite some improvement in the FPU and the use of the quad-pumped bus that even Intel still uses for Core 2, the CPU is slow.

But not everything is black. At 1.5 Ghz, it still delivers some performance, and with low power consumption the efficiency raises and heat and noise go down. Furthermore, the CX700M2 chipset works when it comes to hardware MEPG-2 (DVD), MPEG-4 (DivX) and WMV9 decoding.
