All three of these applications are immensely popular, and manipulating archives of files is particularly relevant to lightweight platforms like the ones we're testing.



AMD's AM1 platform does really well in 7-Zip and WinRAR. However, it trails the Celeron in WinZip's EZ benchmark, which applies maximum compression. With that said, AMD can claim a win in the OpenCL-accelerated component of the test.

It's just convenience and cost efficiency, really, on the one hand, you've got 1 motherboard, CPU, tower, PSU, OS and IP adress for remote control and 8 HDDs and on the other, you've still got 8 HDDS, but 2 of everything else. Power consumption wouldn't make THAT much of a difference, since storage servers mostly idle, but the noise and size do take their toll.

I think the 1920x1080 and 1600x900 graph for Dota 2 are the wrong way round? And it would be good to also have had a graph for its performance with dedicated GPU.
I think the problem is the PSU. Using 850W XFX is total overkill and even being certified as gold class, it has high efficiency at 20% load, which is 170 W. Therefore the PSU is used in non-efficient area and can simply add 15 - 20 W extra to the final power consumption.
Next time maybe borrow PicoPSU and some efficient brick.
