Computing performance

We use the latest version of Futuremark PCMark 7 to test overall performance  in everyday applications using two test traces: for regular and low-performance systems.

Celeron 847 looks very good when compared with AMD E-350 and Intel Atom D2700

Celeron 847 looks very good when compared with AMD E-350 and Intel Atom D2700. Despite its relatively low clock rate of 1.1 GHz, it can provide good performance thanks to its Core microarchitecture However, it is slower when compared against the original desktop Celeron G1610, which can be expected considering the differences in their clock rate.

Internet Performance is tested with Futuremark Peacekeeper launched on the latest, Google Chrome version 25.

This test is indicative of the speed of each particular CPU core.

Although Google Chrome creates separate process for each tab, these processes are single-threaded loads. That’s why this test is indicative of the speed of each particular CPU core. We can see that the Celeron 847 is two times faster than the Atom D2700 and outperforms the AMD E-350 by almost 40%. It seems Celeron 847 is a good solution for nettops serving for internet access. Celeron G1610 is much faster, of course, but it runs on a higher level platform.

For data compression test, we use 7-zip's LZMA2 algorithm to archive a 715MB folder with files.

We have an unusual perspective here. 7-zip can run in parallel on multi-core CPUs, so that Atom D2700, which can execute up to four instruction threads concurrently thanks to Hyper-Threading, cope with this task better than AMD E-350 and Celeron 847.

We benchmarked CPUs in Adobe Photoshop CS6 with custom test based on the Retouch Artists Photoshop Speed Test, and consisting of typical processing of four 24-megapixel images captured with a digital camera.

Celeron 847 is excellent once again, providing much higher performance when compared with the other inexpensive and economical processors. It can be expected by processing high resolution images based on memory bandwidth and Celeron, unlike AMD E-series and Intel Atom, features a dual-channel controller with support for DDR3-1333. It should be noted that Celeron 847, which is positioned as a rival to the Brazos platform, is almost half as fast as the desktop CPU LGA 1155 of the Ivy Bridge line.

In the audio encoding test, we measured the speed of converting a music album from FLAC to MP3 format with Xilisoft Audio Converter 6.4.

Although Xilisoft Audio Converter is optimized for multi-core CPUs, Celeron 847 is ahead of Atom D2700 which can perform four instruction threads concurrently. But the gap is not large, only 6%. AMD E-350 is slower than one third of the Intel CPU at the same level.

Transcoding video is not the typical applications for Atom-based systems and similar systems, but nonetheless we want to check that. In this experiment, we used 0.8 MediaCoder to convert an H.264 1080p video clip into a format supported by the Apple iPad2. Speed is measured in frames per second.

Celeron 847 has an overwhelming advantage in this transcoding test. It goes beyond Bobcat and Atom CPUs in terms of computing efficient, but it's still a junior solution when compared to the inexpensive platforms based on the Intel's Socket LGA1155 processor.

Before testing the processor's integrated graphics core, we want to show you the Physics Score results of Futuremark 3DMark Cloud Gate.  It is the speed of a special gaming physics test which models the behavior of a complex system consisting of numerous objects.

Unfortunately, the Atom D2700 can not pass this test because it does not support DirectX 10. On the other hand, the position is as predicted Celeron 847 is faster than AMD E-350 about 40% but only half as fast as its full-featured cousin.
