Benchmark Analysis
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.
| 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.
..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.
