UMPC processors benchmarked: Ultra Mobile PC Tips

Umpc_cpu_benchmarksOne advantage to owning multiple UMPCs or having friends that own UMPCs? You can benchmark each under relatively similar conditions to determine performance differences. That’s exactly what Frank Garcia (aka: Ctitanic) did with four UMPCs, each with a different CPU. The premise here was to use a program that strictly measures processor performance, regardless of other device attributes. That’s a tricky situation since memory, bus speeds and other hardware properties among other things can influence a test. Frank settled on chess program that has a function to specifically measure how many chess moves the CPU can process in a single second. Using a 1 GHz Pentium M as the 100% baseline he’s sharing the relative results found with a 900 MHz Celeron, 800 MHz A110 and 1 GHz Via C7-M. No surpises in the results to me and one of the key reasons I’ve kept my Q1P as a primary mobile device. For folks new to the UMPC space or interested in another measurement of relative performance, the results are well worth the look.
