eo: Some BenchMarks

I ran a few benchmarks and compared to the results of the same benchmarks run in a Sony VGN-U50. The scores are low compared to Sony's and that's something weird because having the eo close to my nx9010 P4 at 3 GH the eo runs very fast. I would like to know what are the results that other are getting in these or other tests.

Are those tests even compatible with the Via?

that's a good question. As you can see the numbers do not represent the reallity. There is no way that the Sony is twice faster than the eo. I believe that you had one of those JK and you had the eo for a few hours, what do you think?

3DMark basically measure the video chip so I belive that it's compatible with any device. I think that the score is lower because some tests where skipped because according to 3D Mark no "hardware support" was found to run those tests.

I would have thought that standard benchmark tests would be compatible with all types of processors....

Perhaps the results are just what they are - poor.

If Benchmarks do not detect correctly the hardware their score is lower than what is supposed to be. That's for Anonymous. ;)

What player did you use?

VIA claims the player will make a difference as some take better advantage of the CPU's multimedia features.

Was it WinDVD or PowerDVD?

I repeated the test using WinDVD, it does help, it added around 6 minutes of life. But it seems that another mistake was to play the movie from the USB Memory Stick. It seems that that does not save any battery at all. I'm repeating the test again with a DVD copied to HDD and using WinDVD.
In another hand, we have learned here that PCMark is not that good testing VIA processors so I ran another tests using COSBI OpenSourceMark.
