We’ve had a couple customers recently trying to figure out which model, fit-PC3 Pro with AMD T56N processor or Intense PC Value with Celeron 847E processor, gives you better bang for your buck (TDP or Thermal Design Power in geek-speak).

Here’s a summary of some benchmarks we found over at the excellent OpenBenchmarking.org:

fit-PC3 Pro - AMD G-T56N 1.65 GHz 64 bit dual core 18W Hyperthreading? No Benchmarks FLEXIBLE IO TESTER (INTEL IOMETER FILE SERVER ACCESS PATTERN) 9125.41 sec FS-Mark v3.3, 1000 Files, 1MB Size 19.03 files/s Gzip Compression, 2GB File Compression 38.77 s

IPC Value  - Celeron 847E 1.4 GHz 64 bit single core 17W Hyperthreading? No Benchmarks FLEXIBLE IO TESTER (INTEL IOMETER FILE SERVER ACCESS PATTERN) 756.98 sec FS-Mark v3.3, 1000 Files, 1MB Size 12.77 files/s Gzip Compression, 2GB File Compression 75.20 s

The Celeron wins handily with IO and file read/write. However, with lots of CPU math running (compression), it’s quite a bit slower.
