The memory interface of the VIA chipset in the Averatec 3105P may be somewhat faster than that of the IGP320M from ATi (Lifebook S2010), but both look pretty sluggish in comparison to the Lifebook S6120 with its Intel chipset. Nonetheless, even the S6120's performance is a far cry from the theoretical upper limit for memory bandwidth of 2,100 megaBytes/s (DDR2100 RAM).
Using the "Max battery" or "Presentation" power schemes will throttle down the CPU speed and, by extension, the memory bandwidth. The Averatec comes in third because its CPU has a lower clock speed than the Lifebook 2010.
