What i was told in terms of chip speeds was simply this.

An Arm chip at say 1 ghz would be running certain flavours of Linux
at similar performance and speed to an Atom 1.6ghz running windows.

So a 700 mhz arm, with the right fast Linux behind it....would perform
ok as a computer. Given the above spec.

I don't know if these stories are true or not. I have used slate computers
containing a 300 mhz wm8050 Arm chip and they are perfectly fine for
web browsing. Perhaps Flash video is a little slow...but otherwise they are ok.

Adobe's Flash 10.3 for Android 2.2 and later supports only ARM Cortex-A8 and above, do not work on low-end phones with ARM5 CPU.

curaga:
Oh, compared to Windows, I see ;)

Substantial news: homepage has undergone total rewriting, and now there is much more information and an ebullient forum, which I just posted some questions (involving TC too, of course) to:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/

vinceASPECT:
Yes, it should be on sale to the public by November 2011. At the price they
first stated.

After my experiences using a 300mhz Arm slate computer (Android) i feel that the RP is probably quite a capable little computer with the right Linux on it.
