The Intel Atom 330 is a dual core CPU for Nettops (small desktop computer). Therfore, it features nearly no power saving features (compared to the netbook single core Atom CPUs). Only the C1 state is supported by the Atom 330 (no Enhanced Speedstep, C2, C4, Enhanced Stop Grand, Enhanced Deeper Sleep State like in the N270 for example).
The performance of the Atom 330 is measureable better than a single core Atom N270, but still not near the slowest Celeron Dual Core CPUs. Therefore, the 330 is only suited for non demanding tasks like web surfing, or office. In conjunction with the Nvidia ION Chipset (9400M graphics), the Atom 330 powered system can be used for non demanding 3D games in low settings and watching HD videos (with the right software).
The successor of the Atom 330 is the Atom D510 with an integrated memory controller and an integrated GMA 3150 graphics card (again only intended for Nettops).
