Performance Comparisons with 3DMark06
Details: http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark06

The Futuremark 3DMark06 CPU benchmark consists of tests that use the CPU to render 3D scenes, rather than the GPU. It runs several threads simultaneously and is designed to utilize multiple processor cores.



As is to be expected, the 1.3GHz CULV processor isn't going to perform as well as the full-fledged Core 2 Duo chips in the XPS 13 and Satellite A305. Still, the 1.3GHz SU4100 scored almost as well as the similarly priced Asus UL30A. Here's a look at the full 3DMark 06 score:
