Atom Dual-Core Performance Numbers Emerge

multi programs running is why this cpu is a lot better for notebooks ect

The dual-core part of it yes, but not the HT part of it. And multiple programs run just fine on my single core Atom actually(though part of that is due to the HT in the single core).
