12. Multimedia Performance: PC Mark 2002
In the power stakes, as the measurements obtained with PC Mark show, AMD's Mobile Athlon64 3000+ can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Intel's 1.7 GHz Pentium-M. It's worth noting that the value for memory performance also includes the results for the video memory. The combination of the Mobile Athlon64 and ATI's MR9600 obviously make a very lively team. Yakumo also made a good choice with Seagate's Momentus for the hard drive. That said, DDR333/DDR400 delivers even better memory performance.
Despite its high score, Dell's Inspiron 8600 with NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5650 graphics chip draws the short straw in this benchmark.
