The "Max battery" scheme, on the other hand, brakes the processors at their minimum clock speed in battery operations, even when running at full capacity. That means that the low-voltage Athlon XP-M 1600+ in Averatec's 3150P runs at only 400 MHz in this case. Since the other CPUs have somewhat higher clock speeds (600 MHz for the S6120 and 533 MHz for the S2010), they manage to leave their inexpensive opponent in the dust.
