Performance

So, three notebook computers are going to compete face-to-face in our today’s test session. Two of them, Asus A8Sc and Lenovo Thinkpad T61 are based on the new Santa Rosa platform and the Toshiba Satellite A100-906 on the older Napa Refresh platform will be opposing them. Note that Asus A8Sc and Toshiba Satellite A100-906 use processors with close clock speeds of about 1.8GHz, while Lenovo Thinkpad T61 is equipped with a 2GHz CPU.

Synthetic PCMark05 Benchmark

First of all we decided to compare the notebooks performance in a popular Futuremark PCMark05 benchmark. The good thing about this tests is that it provides not only the general performance score but also can report the performance for different subsystems. So, that is why we decided to use it to get first look at the performance of our testing participants.
