Web Benchmarks

With certain classes of CPUs, using the IGP for web-based activities (such as those heavy in Javascript and HTML 5 elements) can be comparable to the higher end smartphone and tablet implementations. These tests help to emulate large, real-world web applications running inside mobile browsers. To this extent we use the following tests to compare the lower powered mobile devices through to the higher end desktop market.

    G1820 is missing or at least a cheap Haswell Pentium.

    Yes that would be really great, since those chips are price about the same.

    These do use far more power.

    On that note, why on earth doid the reviewer compare power usage over idle (never seen that particular metric at anandtech?!?) While not mentioning the idle power (according to various other sites, the amd's sport significant lower idle power). I don't like to think so but this is probably the only power metric to make the atoms look remotely good... Why was it chosen?

    I agree completely. If I were building a budget desktop right now that is exactly the chip (or similar) which I'd be comparing these to.

    I can buy a G3220 Haswell Pentium running at 3.0ghz for $60. I was really hoping this would make it into this review!!

    The G3220 is a 53W chip. These are 25W chips. They do not compete with each other.

    Atom chips are 10W chips. These Semprons are 25W. They do not compete with each other.

    See how that doesn't impact the fact that people are talking about more than just wattage? ;) Some people just want to know what the best VALUE is per dollar and these low end options are all in the running.

    Why limit yourself to just discussing wattage-appropriate? Especially when those Semprons are already over twice the Atom chips in terms of watts.

    "The G3220 is a 53W chip. These are 25W chips. They do not compete with each other."

    Intel's TDP is way overstated on its dual-cores. My "55w" i3 pulls about 32w in reality (measured at the wall, not calculated). I've seen Haswell Pentium's that are sub-30w, (full speed not the slow "T" variants). They are very definitely in the same bracket. In fact, at stock 3.4GHz, with a -0.15v undervolt, I can get my "77w" i5-3570 down from a measured 59w (1.1v) to around 47w (0.95v). At 3.0GHz at 0.83v, you're looking at 36w 4T / 25w 2T (for an i5). AMD's Kabini's are still on 28nm vs Intel's 22nm, and you'd be surprised just how low you can go with undervolting the latter's "big cores".

    The point is moot as AMD is known for overvolting its processors; an article on Kabini would be very interesting.

    Which is why this article needs some actual power consumption benchmarks.
