AMD is just as iffy about support for their low pwoer cores. My A4-1250 is not supported either. Though that isn't a problem with it running Linux, its just that, unlike my Bay Trail, it isn't fanless and ultra quiet. There is nothing quite like a fanless laptop with a SSD or eMMC and getting that in Core is a challenge. Getting it with Core at less than $200 is not possible.
Given that when Lakefield products come out they will in all likelihood competing with ARM A77 products, I struggle to see how this architecture would be competitive.
No these scores are not using the GPU. Atom just has poor integer performance (and FP is even worse, being just SSE, no AVX, no FMA). You need a 60-70% IPC improvement over Goldmont+ to match Cortex-A76.
If IPC is approximately 25% better than Goldmont Plus, it will be on Haswell level. Not sure how it will compete with A77 performance wise, but it should be competitive with A76. From a power consumption perspective? I wouldn’t bet on it.

I second this stay away from Atom.PeachNCream - Friday, October 25, 2019 - link

Lol, that's how Android works.unclevagz - Thursday, October 24, 2019 - link

If Tremont will be almost Core-class as Intel claims, it will very likely equal Cortex-A77 if not surpass it.Wilco1 - Friday, October 25, 2019 - link
It couldn't even get anywhere near a Cortex-A76. The fastest Goldmont+ gets 464 on Geekbench 5, so with 25% gain it would be ~600 at 2.5GHz.However SD855+ (Cortex-A76) gets 795...

That's probably because Geekbench tests both CPU and GPU, I don't think the GPU compute on Atoms is anything to be impressedWilco1 - Friday, October 25, 2019 - link

They'll be x86 and have PC IO.
