Tweaktown published a comparison of the Intel Atom and the Via Nano platform.

VIA Nano L2100 versus Intel Atom 230
Hothardware compares two new contenders in the low power portable CPU arena. Via Nano takes on the Intel Atom CPU in this comparison.
Quote: "VIA caused quite a stir a few months ago when the company first revealed initial details regarding their low-power Nano processor.

We also covered the official announcement of the VIA Nano processor and detailed the exact models that would be available at launch. One thing we hadn't been able to do, however, was a direct performance comparison of the VIA Nano processor versus Intel's recently released Atom, which is target at the same market segment.
