Atom Processor + Good Video Card

[rarestg]

Hey Guys,
I was just wondering how much an Intel Atom processor might throttle the power of a really good videocard (i.e. gtx 460 - 480; HD5870...)
Could anyone post benchmarks comparing an Atom processor + Videocard with an i5 + videocard or something?

Thanks.

Atom is usually not included in gaming benchmarks with high end GPU's for obvious reasons.

Atom cpus aren't included in the benchmarks because they are not meant for gaming. Atoms have similar clock for clock performance as a Pentium 4.

Here's a comparison of the Atom 330 and the Core i5 750:
