N330 vs SU7300

I was reading through the review on the ASUS UL30a because of its huge battery life.
Then when I looked at the CPU it said SU7300, basically a superunderclocked core2duo.
I checked the official TDP of SU7300 and atom N330, and found that the atom, has 2w less than SU7300.
So, would it not make sense to put the N330 in instead of SU7300, given it should, by theory, give a longer lasting battery life and also because it has a faster clock?

some thoughts on this issue?

So, you want our input on which one to get, thus revolving around longer-lasting battery life? There is a lot of information that WOULD be helpful, that seems to be missing in your post.

I JUST finished doing some research, and going with the Atom would result with slower performance, because it isn't AS powerful, but the battery life would increase, compared to your Core2Duo.

I mean, is the atom that slow? I have a ASUS N10j, seem to run as fast as normal PC from my point of view. Have you got any links to a performance comparison between the two? Would like to see the extent of the difference.
