Abstract
Intel Corporation commissioned The Tolly Group to benchmark the performance of its Ultra Low Voltage Intel® Celeron® M processor operating at 600 MHz and equipped with a 512K Level 2 cache alongside three other similar products from VIA Technologies: the VIA C3 Nehemiah 1-GHz processor with a 64K Level 2 cache, the VIA C3 Ezra-T 933-MHz processor with a 64K Level 2 cache, and a VIA C3 Samuel 2 600-MHz processor with a 64K Level 2 cache.
All four products support the Mini-ITX form factor for motherboards where a processor is soldered to the motherboard with an array of communications and graphics subsystems. The Ultra Low Voltage Intel® Celeron® M processor is designed for communication appliances such as media center appliances, network-attached storage, Web pads, point of sales terminals, kiosk and other applications where exceptional performance and low power are required.
Tolly Group engineers subjected all four systems to a battery of benchmark tests exercising the full range of capabilities of the devices. Performance comparisons were drawn from the devices that were subjected to industry-standard benchmarks utilizing the PCMark04, SYSmark 2004 and WebMark 2004 from Futuremark Corp., SANDRA 2004 from SiSoftware Ltd., and SPEC CPU2000 V1.2 from Standard Performance Evaluation Corp.
Benchmark tests reveal that the Ultra Low Voltage Intel® Celeron® M processor consistently outperformed the competitive products tested, demonstrating that Intel delivers greater CPU performance. Tests were conducted during November-December 2004.
