I have a MSI LX800 microITX board running as my Internet gateway and firewall on a Linux 2.4 kernel.
I have a microwave broadband connection, and a wired gigabit LAN connected to the two Ethernet ports on the MSI board. I have measured the transfer rate with and without the LX800 in place, and the 500mhz Geode does not introduce any latency. Not a processor intensive application I guess, but very cool (no heat sinks), silent (no fans) and it uses a minuscule amount of power. My former gateway computer burned up $225 worth of electricity a year running 24/7, so the Geode (and ITX board) will pay for itself in about 10 months.

Some One: exactly! I would like to see how any intel cpu compares to LX800 when undervolted and underclocked to match the power consumption of LX800

Comparing a Celeron M with 7W power consumption to an LX800 is a mistake, because the LX800 power consumption is less than 1W!
The Celeron M processor should have been compared to AMD Geode NX1500, because both have almost the same power consumption (AMD: 6W, Celeron:7W).
I think it should results a totally different scores…

What about comparing with Intel A1xx series?
