</div>According to the processor documentation it is ARMv5TE-compliant, and<br>
there's also a Dream Plug with ARMv5 mentioned on:<br>

It is not the newest generation of ARM, so it would not be comparable<br>
to a recent tablet.<br>
<br>
This page discusses performance comparisons of ARM versus x86:<br>

ARM seems to perform slow with floating point, and Pd is all floating<br>
point. An Atom based computer might be better for Pd. I have no<br>
experience with ARM, but of Atom-based netbooks I know (also from<br>
experience) that Pd performs reasonably well under Debian. Roughly<br>
three times slower than a laptop, I would say.<br>
