There are ubuntu 12.04 32-bit on both machines, results of hardinfo
benchmarks:
Athlon | Atom
X2 TK-57 | N570
**lower is better:** |
|
CPU Blowfish: 10.8 | 8.6 (Atom win)
CPU Fibonacci: 5.4 | 7.9
CPU N-Queens: 17.8 | 21.0
FPU FFT: 8.2 | 8.3
FPU Raytracing: 17.4 | 79.4 (OMFG that gap)
|
**higher is better:** |
CPU CryptoHash: 114.82 | 106.38
The mark on Athlon's notebook says that it is ASUS f3ke but CPU specs on Internet-price-lists does not match TK-57 that I got from cat /proc/cpuinfo
, Atom's notebook is something so Chinese that I could not even find it on markets year later I bought it.
Why is there such a large difference in performance between the two processors?
The tk-57 was one of amd s first processors that supports virtualization as well. If you update the bios firmware to whatever the latest if it doesn't already support it. – None – 2015-09-30T03:51:16.793
1The Atom is Intels ultra-low power netbook processor, it is not surprising a desktop class processor outperforms it. – Mokubai – 2013-06-01T12:23:48.563
@Mokubai I am confused because Atom has 2 cores by 1600Mhz + 2 virtual cores by 1000Mhz, and Athlod has just two cores with 800Mhz... also in other specs of this cpu's I could not find my answer. – scythargon – 2013-06-01T12:28:05.647
The TK-57 us a 1900MHz processor see http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Athlon%2064%20X2%20TK-57%20-%20AMDTK57HAX4DM.html. When you see it at 800MHz it is probably in a power saving mode.
