'doubling the core count of an Atom CPU does not double its performance by any stretch of the imagination'

Can you please expand on this? Does it not bring about benefits of similar measure to say a core 2 duo?

aaaah the brands! noooo!

Gateway, a subsidiary of Acer, selling under the name Packard Bell?

All of which used to sell units individually? Hooray for mergers/buyouts...

@J4cK1505, I think he's just pointing out that although it is better its not twice as fast. Same as a Core2Duo, wasn't twice as fast as P4.

You will get some general benefits from multiple cores, as the OS's tend to make use them. But if the app/game isn't properly programmed for multiple cores you could see no change or even a decrease in performance.
