Really hard to tell. esp. for audio applications. I also have no clue
how efficient supercollider is..

Are you using supernova to make use of multiple cores?

As rule of thumb: Atom CPUs processing power is comparable to that of an
i3 of the same clock-freq. But most Atom chipsets lack some CPU features
- e.g virtualization support. Yet Atom != Atom and i3 != i3 ; it really
depends on the model. I suppose the only way to tell is to try..

What I really like about Atom CPUs for audio is that they can run fan-less.

best,
robin
