Not bad, if the pricing is good.
The single core atoms were never that good, but the dual core atoms seem to do just fine for the cost/performance/TDP.
Biggest problem i've had, was the platforms i want them in, were always overpriced for what you get. That and they can be a bit weak where you really want them, 1080p or higher playback, for home media centers.
