I've never even considered an Atom product before, but the new Intel Atom Z6xx series is a different animal altogether.
It promises both power and power savings. And it doesn't even support Windows (initially), but only Android.

Snapdragon Killer? Intel’s Atom Z6 CPUs to Target Smart Phones, Tablets
"... The new CPUs offer strong improvements in endurance, even when using a battery with the same capacity as a standard BlackBerry battery. According to Intel, Atom Z6xx chips achieve:
* 10 days or more of idle power (50x previous Atom CPUs). Intel defines idle as any time a device is on but not in active use. So a phone that periodically gets push e-mail would still be considered idle.
* 2 days (48 hours) of continuous audio playback.
* 5 hours of continuous video playback...."
