Comparing the current netbook Atom processor against my aging Pentium-M

I have a nice and trusty 15″ Acer Travelmate from the 8000 series. It has a 1400×1050 tft, dvd-rom/cd-rewriter, currently 80GB hdd and 1.25GB of RAM. Its keyboard is really nice for typing at long stretches, being curved a bit and having great keys. The machine also sports a 1.5GHz Pentium-M processor on the first Centrino platform. This is a Dothan core known as the Pentium-M 715. This machine has been serving me for way over four years already, and I hope to have it around for some more. The original 60GB hdd already is replaced with a new one after it died, and one of the 256MB ram banks has been transferred to my girlfriend’s laptop and replaced with a 1GB one.

Nowadays the tiny laptops known as netbooks are being in demand. Ever since Asus started this new type with the first 7″ Eee, manufacturers crank out loads of them, almost all based on the Intel Atom processor (generally using the N270 single core, running at 1.6GHz). They vary in size, which results in some having a handy small formfactor and 7″ screen with as con a cramped keyboard and others having a 10″ screen and almost-full-sized keyboard. Of course everything in between can be found too.

I wouldn’t consider using one of those as replacement for my current laptop, as working the whole day for a whole week on such a device would ruin your hands and maybe even your neck and eyes for sure. However, they are really portable and as such great tools for couch surfing/irc’ing and to drop into your bag when travelling a bit.

I found a bunch of benchmarks of various netbooks and went looking for the same numbers on my Dothan 1.5GHz machine. I found benchmarks of a similarly specced Acer, which I added to the table I found on the first page (what kind of html editor that those guys use, it almost looked like some msword export…). The results are these:

	Acer Aspire 1690WLMi (Intel Pentium-M Dothan 1.5GHz)	Gigabyte M912 (Intel Atom 1.6GHz)	MSI Wind (Intel Atom 1.6GHz)	ASUS Eee PC 901 (Intel Atom 1.68GHz)	ASUS Eee PC 900 (Intel Celeron 900 mobile)
Memory Bandwidth	n/a	2. 85G/2.16G	2.84G/2.41GB	2.8G/2.4GB	2.05GB/2.08GB
Dhrystone	6431 MIPS	3897 MIPS	3846 MIPS	3883 MIPS	2635 MIPS
Whetstone	2076 MFLOPS (FPU) / 2659 MFLOPS (iSSE2)	3353 MFLOPS	3321 MFLOPS	3350 MFLOPS	2181 MFLOPS
Multimedia Int X8	14176 it/s (Integer x4 iSSE)	29558 it/s	29211 it/s	29614 it/s	8377 it/s
Multimedia Float X4	15671 fit/s	20017 fit/s	19746 fit/s	20041 fit/s	9522 fit/s
Super PI 1M	n/a	1 min 35 s	1 min 34 s	1 min 31 s	1 min 27 s
Random Access	18,9ms	18.1ms	16.9ms	0.5ms	0.5ms
CPU Utilisation	4.6%	4%	3%	2%	2%
Average Read	21,2 MB/sec (65,7 MB/sec burst)	51. 1 MB/sec	38.7 MB/sec	26.7 MB/sec	28 MB/sec

From the netbook benchmarks: «From the results, we can see that the Atom based machines all perform similarly in data crunching. The differences are largely due to the HDD used. In this case, the Gigabyte M912 does perform better in the disk performance tests. The Fujitsu HDD gives is an edge over the MSI Wind and Eee PC 901 (SSD) in terms of average Read. When it comes to random access, the SSD is no doubt the fastest and is noiseless.»

So it seems the Atom is slightly faster overall, but not shockingly so. I think the experience will be quite on-par with what I’m used to on my full-sized laptop, except for a (much?) smaller form factor. The Acer Aspire One seems to have a nicely sized keyboard, and I’m also interested in the Samsung NC10. Time will tell whether I will get me one of those, or whether I will skip on them and stick with my full-sized laptop, workstation and Nokia N810 internet tablet. Or get a 12″ or 13″ IBM/Lenovo. And this Samsung X360 looks really nice too, and it’s a lot faster than those Atoms. Fun times.

Benchmarks

Overall performance rating

The main rating is calculated according to the formula, taking into account all indicators: test results in programs, release year, number of cores, threads, socket, instructions, clock frequency, temperature data, technology, structure, and other indicators.

PassMark CPU Mark

Perhaps the most popular benchmark tester in Runet. Almost all CPUs presented on our website have been tested in PassMark. The benchmark has a wide range of tests for a large-scale assessment of the performance of a personal computer, in particular the CPU. Among which are floating point calculations, extended instruction checking, compression, integer calculations, encryption, game physics calculations, multi-threaded and single-threaded tests. In particular, it is possible to compare data with other configurations in the database. Performance Test showed a slightly higher performance of the Pentium M 1.30 processor (196 points) over Atom N2100 (188 points). The Atom N2100 falls slightly behind in this test.

Cinebench 10 (32 bit) Single-threaded test

This benchmark for video cards and processors is already very outdated today. Uses the method of geometric optics — ray tracing. Released by MAXON, it was based on the Cinema 4D 3D editor. The main mode of passing tests for speed is multilevel reflections, working with light, imitation of global illumination, photorealistic rendering of a 3D scene, spatial light sources, and procedural shaders. Works on Mac, Windows operating systems. It is possible to test multi-processor systems. The Single version in its test uses only one rendering thread and one core.

Cinebench 10 (32 bit) Multi-threaded test

Multi Core is another test option in the Cinebench R10 benchmark, which already uses a multi-threaded and multi-core testing method. Please note that the number of threads in this version of the program is limited to sixteen.

Cinebench 11.5 (64-bit) Multi-threaded test

Multi-threaded version of CINEBENCH 11.5 benchmark, it can load the CPU at 100%, including all threads and cores. Unlike previous versions, 64 threads will be used here.

Cinebench 11.5 (64-bit) Single-threaded test

Good old multifunctional Cinebench version R11.5 from Maxon. In this Single-Core variant, tests are performed using one core and one thread. The tests still use the ray tracing process, rendering a complex 3D space with a large number of translucent and crystalline and glass spheres. His tests to this day have not lost their relevance. The result of the test is the «frames per second» parameter.

Cinebench 15 (64-bit) Multi-thread test

Multi-Thread Cinebench R15 version — will test your system completely, showing what it is capable of. The benchmark is ideal for testing new multi-threaded processors from Intel and AMD. capable of using 256 computation threads. All cores and threads of the central processor are turned on when rendering high-poly 3D models.

Cinebench 15 (64-bit) Single-threaded test

Cinebench Release 15 is the latest benchmark from Finns from Maxon. The whole system is checked: both video cards and CPU. For processors, the result of the analysis is the number of PTS points, and for video cards, the value of frames per second FPS. A complex 3D scene is rendered with many complex objects, light sources and reflections. In this version of Single Core, only one thread is used for rendering.

Geekbench 4.

0 (64-bit) Multi-threaded test

64-bit multi-threaded Geekbench 4 benchmark. It is the support for various devices and operating systems that makes testing from Geekbench the most popular now. This is

Geekbench 4.0 (64-bit) Single-threaded test

Single-Core test uses 1 CPU thread. The latest single-threaded version of Geekbench 4 to test laptops and home PCs. This benchmark, like its earlier versions, can still be run on systems: Windows, Linux, Mac OS. For the first time, this version of the benchmark also supports mobile devices running iOS and Android.

Geekbench 3 (32 bit) Multi-thread test

Geekbench 3’s Multi-Thread test — can allow you to make a powerful «reliability» test of your processor and show how stable your system is.

Geekbench 3 (32 bit) Single-threaded benchmark

The multi-platform Geekbench is often used to test a Mac system, but it will run on both Windows and Linux. The main purpose is to test the efficiency of processors. The 32-bit version of the benchmark loads no more than one processor core and one thread.

Geekbench 2

To date, there are more recent updates, the current 5v and the fourth. An outdated version of the Geekbench 2 benchmark. In our archive, you can find up to two hundred CPU models that have test results in this program.

X264 HD 4.0 Pass 1

This is a practical test of system performance by transcoding HD video files to the new H.264 format or the so-called MPEG 4 x264 codec. This is the most appropriate test for multi-core and multi-thread processors. This test is faster than Pass 2 because it renders at the same rate. The number of frames processed per second is the result of the check.

X264 HD 4.0 Pass 2

This is a slightly different, slower test based on video file compression. The result is a better quality video file. It is important to be aware that a very real task is being performed, and the x264 codec is used in a large number of video encoders. The same MPEG4 x264 codec is used, but the processing is already done at a variable rate. The final result is also determined in frames per second. This means that the results of testing realistically assess the performance of the platform.

3DMark06 CPU

Benchmark program to evaluate the performance of the CPU and video system. CPUs are tested in two ways: AI calculates the pathfinding, and another test simulates the system using PhysX. This benchmark is very often used by gamers and fans to overclock processors and overclockers. Based on DirectX by Futuremark.

3DMark Fire Strike Physics

We can say that almost two hundred processors on our Internet resource have data in the 3DMark Physics test. It presents a test that makes game physics calculations.

WinRAR 4.0

A familiar data archiver. The speed of RAR compression was tested by the algorithm; for this, huge amounts of randomly generated data were generated. The resulting speed in the process of compression «kilobytes per second» — this is the result of testing. The tests were carried out under Windows OS.

TrueCrypt AES

Not exactly a benchmark, but the results of its work can help evaluate system performance. The program can work in OS: Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It includes the function of fast encryption of disk partitions. Unfortunately support for this project ended in 2014. Our site shows the results of encryption speed in Gb / s using the AES algorithm.
