NVIDIA Ion Reference PC Platform Deep Dive
Cinebench Software Rendering
Cinebench R10 is an OpenGL

This is a multi-threaded, multi-processor aware benchmark that renders a single 3D scene and tracks the length of the entire process. The rate at which each test system was able to render the entire scene is represented in the graph below.
We decided to include our Cinebench numbers here though frankly the test is more of a processor benchmark than anything else. That said, obviously NVIDIA's GeForce 9400M chipset is enabling the Atom CPU to do its thing and with NVIDIA's memory controller in the mix as well, so the test is still worth a quick look. Here the Ion drops in neck and neck with Intel's own 945 Express chipset and when we enabled the second Atom core in the Atom 330 CPU that came in the Ion reference PC, the score jumped to almost twice the performance. We ran the multithreaded version of the Cinebench test and unfortunately VIA's Nano is a single core, single threaded processor, so it couldn't run the test.
