Benchmark Results: Productivity
Regardless of whether your system serves as a desktop workstation or kitchen kiosk, you want to run regular anti-virus scans to make sure it’s still healthy. In this scan of a 334 MB folder of files, the Ion takes more than twice as long to complete the job. That’s significant because AVG takes advantage of both cores plus Hyper-Threading, yet the dual-core Athlon still comes out on top.
WinZip 12 isn’t able to take advantage of multiple threads, so the Athlon’s dominance here isn’t a surprise.
WinRAR, on the other hand, is able to utilize Hyper-Threading and, as a result, turns back a slightly better performance versus the Athlon than what we saw in WinZip.

I wonder what's the vista score for the CPU and RAM on this system? anyone knows?
Athlon X2 3250e should be used when comparing the Power Consumption.
Athlon X2 7850 and Athlon X2 5050e are no the similiar class CPU with Intel’s dual-core Atom 330.
correct me if i m wrong
