Why is the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57 faster than an Intel Atom CPU N570

Why is the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57 faster than an Intel Atom CPU N570

There are ubuntu 12.04 32-bit on both machines, results of hardinfo benchmarks:
               Athlon   |  Atom
               X2 TK-57 |  N570
**lower is better:**    |
                        | 
CPU Blowfish:     10.8  |  8.6 (Atom win)
CPU Fibonacci:    5.4   |  7.9
CPU N-Queens:     17.8  |  21.0
FPU FFT:          8.2   |  8.3
FPU Raytracing:   17.4  |  79.4 (OMFG that gap)
                        |
**higher is better:**   |
CPU CryptoHash: 114.82  |  106.38
The mark on Athlon's notebook says that it is ASUS f3ke but CPU specs on Internet-price-lists does not match TK-57 that I got from car /proc/cpuinfo, Atom's notebook is something so Chinese that I could not even find it on markets year later I bought it.
Why is there such a large difference in performance between the two processors?
