11. PCMark05

Here are the charts showing the PCMark05 scores for the OQO Model 01+ and the averaged scores for the Toshiba U100-S213 and Fujitsu Lifebook P1510D laptops. Immediately after the charts I'll discuss the results.

As you read on, remember the OQO Model 01+ is not running on battery power for the PCMark05 tests. It is running on AC power.

The PCMark05 scores help some to explain the MobileMark05 Office Productivity performance scores. The OQO's 1 GHz Transmeta Crusoe TM5800 central processor achieved a CPU score of 901 while the average score for the two laptops with 1.2 GHz Pentium M 753 CPUs is over twice that at 1940. The Crusoe is clearly the inferior processor when it comes to speed on battery or plugged into an AC power socket.

On the memory side things are even worse for the OQO Model 01+. The OQO's score is about one-third of the averaged memory scores of the two laptops. Certainly memory speed is a factor here, with the OQO's memory running at 266 MHz while the laptops' memory is rated at 366 MHz. But I suspect that CPU and chipset differences also contribute some to memory performance differences.

Interestingly, when it comes to hard disk performance the Model 01+ performs as well as the two laptops. This is not surprising given that all three computers use essentially the same disk drive. The OQO and Fujitsu use Toshiba's 30 GB MK3006GAL drive; the Toshiba uses the 60 GB version of the same drive, the MK6006GAH.

Note: Intel and Transmeta are members of FutureMark's Benchmark Development Team.
