Benchmarks of MSI Wind 1.6GHz ATOM 10" notebook versus ASUS Eee PC 900
 Bluetooth 2 Jun 2008

Benchmarks

We ran some basic benchmarks on the machine. This is because most of the benchmarks of today won't even run correctly on this processor. One such example is PC Mark05. Although this is quite a standard application to test system performance, it failed to complete the tests on both MSI WIND and EEEPC. This could be due to the non default resolution of 1024x600.

We ran some other standard benchmarks like Super PI, Sisoft Sandra XII, HD Tach etc. Here are the results.

  ASUS Eee PC 900 (Intel Celeron 900 mobile) MSI Wind (Intel Atom 1.6GHz)
Memory Bandwidth

2.05GB/2.08GB

2.84G/2.41GB
Dhrystone 2635 MIPS 3846 MIPS
Whetstone 2181 MFLOPS 3321 MFLOPS
Multimedia Int X8 8377 it/s 29211 it/s
Multimedia Float X4 9522 fit/s 197469 fit/s
Super PI 1M 1 min 27 s 1 min 34 s
Random Access 0.5ms 16.9ms
CPU Utilisation 2% 3%
Average Read 28 MB/s 38.7 MB/s

From the results, it can be seen that the Intel ATOM N270 runs way faster than the Eee PC's Celeron 900MHz Mobile. This is especially true when it comes to data crunching and multimedia. The interesting result we noticed is that, the Intel atom actually took a longer time to complete the Super PI 1 M test. It took 1 m 34s while the moblie Celeron 900 took 1 m 27 s.

In terms of disk speed, the conventional HDD can run with a higher average read as compared to SSD. The major drawback of HDD is that when it comes to random access, it is definitely not a match for SSD which scored 0.5ms against 16.9ms on a conventional 2.5" HDD.
