10. CPU Performance With Non-wmmX-Optimized Application

A non-wMMX-optimized benchmark like the Pocket PC benchmark from our partner PC Professionell measures system performance with a fairly CPU-intensive standard application.

The top-end model in the X50 series does well here, too, thanks to its high maximum CPU speed.

2D Graphics Performance

The result here is not surprising, since this benchmark measures the bandwidth between the graphics memory and the CPU rather than actual graphics performance. The bandwidth is lower in a system with a dedicated graphics chip than in a PDA that relies on the CPU to process graphics data in addition to its other tasks. See "Benchmark Anomalies Due to Higher Resolutions and 2D/3D Graphics Accelerators", above, for a more detailed explanation of this phenomenon.
