CPU arithmetic scores are modest, though still respectable.

Cryptography throughput is quite respectable for a CPU that does not benefit from the new AES instruction set.

Multi-core efficiency suffers somewhat, no doubt due to the bus sharing bandwidth with the GPU.

Multimedia performance on the CPU cores only also showed modest results.

Power management efficiency was quite respectable, with an index of 1.38.

File systems performance was limited by the low power 2.5″ notebook hard drive, as expected.

Physical disk performance was as expected, with a boost over file systems performance that reflects the overhead that NTFS puts on disk transactions.

When the GPU core is brought into play, overall bandwidth improves drastically, though as expected it still lags behind discrete GPU performance.

Again, bringing the GPU into the mix improves cryptographic throughput by quite a bit.

With the GPU in on the task, image processing gets a much-needed boost.

Media transcoding turned out somewhat poor on this machine, with an average throughput of 98kB/sec.

Cache and memory throughput came out about as expected, with an overall throughput of 8.64GB/sec.

Memory bandwidth came out at ~3.43GB/sec, doubtless dual-channel mode would improve this.

Memory latency came out surprisingly poor, at 161.7ns.

Network throughput over gigabit Ethernet was somewhat on the low side, with an average throughput of 6.9MB/sec.

Video memory bandwidth was about what you’d expect from an integrated GPU.

Video rendering came in at ~5.58MPix/sec, which is about average for an integrated GPU with less than 512MB of memory available to it.
