As expected the difference between the Intel and Nvidia graphics enabling on this test were negligible. For comparison my quad core Q6700 desktop completes the 1M test in just under 30 seconds.

In this benchmark we see a definite difference in performance due to the selection of graphics. What is interesting to note is that the enabling of Nvidia graphics also affects several other areas of the test.

These results were very predictable considering the Intel GMA 950 is a low power graphics chip and the 9300M has much more horsepower. Both results are a bit under what whould be considered normal for the card but then this too should be expected as each has been paired up with the Intel Atom processor which is again a low power cpu.

The 9300M will enable users to playback most video content as well as do light gaming.
