Benchmark Analysis

by

We compared all benchmark results with both the Sempron LE-1100 and the dual core Pentium E2140, and then analyzed the results. We purposely excluded synthetic benchmarks from the analysis.

Celeron 220 1.2 GHz
Benchmark Pentium Dual-Core E2140 1.60 GHz Sempron 64 LE-1100 1.90 GHz
iTunes 60.2% 29.6%
Lame 27.7% 19.7 %
AVG Antivirus 40.0% 23.7%
WinRAR 48.5% 1.2%
Cinema 4D Release 10 40.7% -13.5%
Overall 43.4% 12.2%

As the table shows, the Celeron 220 lags behind the dual core Pentium by a wide margin, trailing it by up to 60% due to its single-core architecture. Yet even when compared to the single-core Sempron LE-1100, the Celeron still falls short by up to 29%. Cinema 4D is the only exception here, since it is heavily optimized for the Conroe Architecture, giving the Celeron a 13% edge over the Sempron.

Good article... But dollars... Really?

Think I'll just follow most readers and just concentrate reading the US site of Tom's from now on.

I agree. This is a good article............but............
I cannot source this board in the UK (all are saying out of stock). Also, why bother to have a UK site when most articles relate to USA, ie dollars.
It is much better to just log in to the USA site

Wouldn't the Intel Little Falls (M-ITX) board with the Atom processor be a better choice? Same price (if not even lower?) and uses less power?

Ditch the serial & parallel ports, give me a gbit network card and I'm sold! Oh and like other people say, prices in £ ffs

I'm forever being asked to build fast computers, and this proves once again that unless you actually use that power (and wisely), you're not going to see a huge difference. Intel..AMD..doesn't matter; you just don't need to spend a fortune these days and both platforms offer great power thermal envelopes.

Quote :We can’t really say that the board’s power consumption was especially low—an AMD 780G board paired with a Sempron processor draws even less power when idle. On top of that, the AMD system offers markedly better performance and can even decode HD video content thanks to its 780G chipset graphics.


..if only AMD would market these features more.

One thing does stand out: no 'C1E Speedstep' support..you'd have thought with a system like this, that such a feature would be standard. Guess it's just an easy way of getting rid of old S-479 gear.
