14. Raytracing: POV-Ray For Windows
When rendering the picture, the Pentium-M 1.6 GHz is clearly a nose ahead of the much higher clocked Pentium 4-M 2.2 GHz. We can't say whether it's due to the large 1 MB L2 Cache of Pentium-M, the improved branch prediction of Pentium-M, or other features of Intel's upcoming mobile processor.
The scores shows all too clearly that the performance in this benchmark is not only depending on processor architecture, but of course on processor clock as well. With a minimal clock of a mere 600 MHz in the power setting "Presentation/ Max. Battery," even the Pentium-M doesn't win any kudos.
