Via Nano or Intel Atom for the new HP Mini Note?

According to DigiTimes, HP placed an order (new Mini Note) for the Via Nano CPUs, the main alternative to the Intel Atom. What I know so far:

• Via Nano vs Intel Atom Performance: Via Nano wins, it should be more powerful
• Via Nano vs Intel Atom Power Consumption: Intel Atom wins, it should be less power hungry
