Acer Aspire Revo R3600 - NVIDIA ION Nettop Review

Page 5 - Tests - Overall performance

Maxon Cinebench R10

In this benchmark the only thing we see is the process of rendering a huge picture. The picture is separated equally to the amount of threads and every fictitious "processor" gets a task. Should one crunches his faster he is given to chew on what's available. If nothing else it looks cool :)

Nothing to be amazed of. The good old MSI Wind (the only direct rival of the currently reviewed system) despite having less memory is performing better because it also uses a lighter OS - Windows XP.

Paint.NET x32 3.05

PDNBench is a benchmark based on the popular 64 bit free software for picture editing Pain.NET. PDNBench tests the and displays the sum of time required for performing a variety of different operations, commonly used when editing pictures - scaling, zooming, decreasing, cutting, compressing and so on.

Here Acer Aspire Revo is clearly leading - it doses better than Wind with 24 seconds.

Lame

As the name suggests, this is the famously known software for audio encoding in LAME, with multi-threading support. We used the benchmark with the supplied 20MB .WAV fail, compressed in .MP3 of course.

Sadly, Revo is again behind Wind, the Microsoft OS is definitely a burden to it.

WinRAR 3.80

Is there anything we can say about WinRAR, that you don't already know... The integrated benchmark has multi-threading support and is quite indicative. We measured the time for compressing 100MB source.

Do we really need to comment?

SuperPI

The famous SuperPI... We used the version from our colleagues from XtremeSystems, that supports multi-threading.

Tests clearly show that the pure computing power of Acer Aspire Revo R3600 is not very high, its memory is mostly occupied by the heavy OS. All in all it will do, but running multitude of applications will slow it down considerably.
