14. Raytracing: POV-Ray For Windows
This involves rendering a scene (Chess2) with the program Povray. This task is extremely CPU-intensive. The render time serves as the measure of speed.
The victor in this sub-discipline was the Q8M Power64 XD with Mobile Athlon64 processor.
Yakumo's mobile PC comes second in battery operation because of its low fixed clock speed.
