The Atom core has nothing to do with the Core2 or P4 or any other core.
 Whoever told you Prescott is optimal doesn't know what s/he's talking
about.  All cores after the i586 are out-of-order cores, the Atom is an
in-order.  This should show you how silly that statement is.

We are still waiting for Intel to disclose the details about the
micro-architecture.  There is no backend support in gcc yet.
