Acer Aspire Revo SFF NVIDIA Ion PC

We began our benchmark testing with SiSoftware's SANDRA XII, the System ANalyzer, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant. We ran four of the built-in subsystem tests that partially comprise the SANDRA 2009 test suite with the Ion-based  Acer Aspire Revo (CPU Arithmetic, CPU Multimedia, Memory Bandwidth, and the Disk Storage tests).  All of the scores reported below were taken with the Revo's Atom processor running at its default clock speed of 1.6GHz, with 2GB of DDR2-800 system memory and HyperThreading enabled.

Preliminary Testing with SiSoft SANDRA 2009  Synthetic Benchmarks

The Acer Aspire Revo's performance fell right in-line with expectations. In the purely CPU bound tests, the system performed right on par with the similarly equipped Ion reference platform and netbooks. The Revo performed somewhat lower in the memory bandwidth test than NVIDIA's reference platform, however, we somewhat expected this result considering the system was equipped with lower-clocked DDR2 memory as opposed to the reference system's DDR3-1066.
