To start out our testing, we began with a focus on CPU performance, utilizing FutureMark 3DMark06's CPU performance module. 3DMark06's test is a multi-threaded "gaming related" DirectX metric that's useful for comparing relative performance between similarly equipped systems. This test consists of different 3D scenes that are generated with software and hardware GPU renderers, which is also dependant on the host CPU's performance. In its CPU tests, the calculations normally reserved for your 3D accelerator are instead sent to the central processor.
Out of our test systems, the X200 packs the biggest processing punch. The X200 is equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo P8x00 series processor which are the new Penryn 45nm cores. Not only does the X200 have the highest clock frequency but it also has 3MB of L2 cache compared to the 2MB of the older Meroms. This allows the X200 to lead the pack in our first benchmark, 3DMark06's CPU module. The X200 has a significant performance advantage over the X300's ultra low voltage processor.
