The 5050 led, 5mm x 5mm, is actually 3 LEDs in the same package. IMHO, it is about twice as bright as the 1210, also called 3528, 3.5 x 2.8mm, in metric, and draws a little less than twice the current.
There have been a lot of opinions about how many 1210s or 5050s are as bright as a 921 incandescent, or other kinds of bulbs. My opinion is that 36-1210 panels are as bright. The cobs don't look quite as bright due to the more diffused light.
Here are some links to some threads that you can learn all about LED lighting from.
