Specifications for Intel Atom 330

[Sergio 1]

I am deciding to go for Intel Atom 330, but having no idea about this processor. I know that its old but I am getting that at good price, so thinking of it for some days till my laptop comes (). I am here just to check some specifications and performance of this processor. I have not decided to Google because there I will not get an experience talks like you members provide. So I am posting here expecting that someone hanging out there will help me soon as possible. Any other information regarding the topic would be appreciable.

The following are the specifications for Intel Atom 330 :

To enhance performance and energy efficiency of the Intel Atom 330 to judge better, we are facing our atomic-board a fuel-efficient AMD system. The latter is based on the chipset with integrated ATI Radeon 740G/SB700 2100. This platform will continue with the next low-power CPUs from AMD , the single-core Athlon 2650e (1.6 GHz) and the dual-core Athlon X2 3250e (1.5 GHz), are marketed. Elite Group (ECS) could kindly provide the engineering sample of a Atom 330, including pins each. The motherboard, code-named Gorgia and P45GC is also an engineering sample. In the final version will be required for ECS typical purple instead of red and then the suitable name 945GCD-I330 wear.

The board is named after the Mini-ITX standard, designed and measures 170 x 170 mm. Accordingly, only a memory bank takes place on the board, which unfortunately can be filled only with up to 1,024 MB. Suitable standards of DDR2 400 and DDR2-533 in question. Whether it can be used on the final version more than 1,024 MB is not yet clear. Just could speculate about whether the uncontrolled Northbridge fan could be replaced by a larger passive cooler. Generally corresponds to the motherboard what Intel as specified Nettop '08 has. As the i945GC chipset comes with the ICH7 southbridge used. Drives can be connected via IDE or SATA. An extension of the platform is only one PCI slot. The chipset may have dominated PCI-Express, but it looks a corresponding slot on the board in vain. Connectivity is limited to the essentials. There are four USB 2.0 ports, two PS / 2 ports for keyboard and mouse, three audio outputs, one serial and one parallel port and a VGA port. The power supply is only about a 24-pin ATX connector. In addition to the North Bridge fan can optionally provide an additional fan with constant 12 volts.

As a competitor to Intel's PC System AMD is expected to have a single core CPU with the current codename (1.0 GHz) bring Bobcat , during the next low-power CPUs from AMD , the single-core Athlon 2650e (1.6 GHz) and the Dual-core Athlon X2 3250e (1.5 GHz), presumably to be located on this segment. On the latter, Intel currently has no answer in the form of an appropriate CPU. to be marketed, the AMD processors together with the chipset 740G/SB700 as energy efficient and cost platforms. This motherboard is the Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2H, which is based on this chipset. It is a uATX-board with dimensions of 245 x 245 mm, which is a good bit larger than mini-ITX. While the size is assessed in this class as a shortcoming, know the motherboard to score points with equipment. In addition to typical equipment features you get a DVI, HDMI and a digital audio output. Flat cooler on Northbridge and Southbridge underline the economical character of the chipset. After a BIOS update on this board can do triple-core Phenoms are operated.

I would like to discuss about the Benchmarks. The primary objective of the Intel Atom, it is certainly not to claim any cost, performance crown for himself. Rather, it is in this class in production costs and energy consumption. However, one must ask at least may, if the atom is known for its modest tasks quickly enough. The Atom is designed to play content, but not to edit or create content at all. Accordingly, we limit ourselves to the performance measurements on several representative benchmarks that are sufficient to be able to classify and evaluate his performance. The data compression software 7-Zip has in recent years gained much popularity. This was attributable not only in comparison to other packers better compression rate of ZIP and GZIP or own 7z format with. Compared to the competition, the software is free and ad-free and is also in for a 64-bit version available.

The fact that the Atom 330 compared to 230 runs, another atomic nucleus, can be easily understood on the basis of power consumption. Since the atom in the nettop area does not have power saving feature, the difference even at idle is measurable. Increased TDP now from four to eight watts in the case of the Atom 330 is the measured values hardly fair, because the atom-330 system uses eight watts at idle and 13 watts under full load even more. It is possible that the engineering sample of the atomic-330 board uses a little more than usual, which would explain the strikingly large differences on the nuclear 230.

A good figure of AMD processors. The 740G chipset and the processors do with their power-saving mechanisms the Atom platforms visible competition. Considering the much higher processing power of AMD processors as well as further potential for reducing power consumption by manual optimization of the power supply, the low power of the atom is really no argument. The voltage can not change the atom, while the values at AMD in small steps such as using RightMark RMClock utility can be further optimized. The load values are to call all of them as low. In particular, the atom will remain modest under load, but not much pay accordingly. Their economy is thus eaten up by longer processing times in some cases again. Since the atom 230 and the Sempron LE-1100, the core temperatures not Core Temp can be determined, the following information does not belong to the cores but the CPU temperature, known as CoverTemp or TCAS. The CPU temperatures with only Everest determined. The utilization of all cores or threads is done with Prime95. The room temperature is 21 ° C plus or minus one degree.

[Lawford]

The temperatures are all in the green. Even the 65 ° C under load, the Atom 330 are no problem. specifies the Intel Atom 330 85.2 ° C , so the passive cooling of the CPU is no reason for concern. The AMD processors have the advantage that in this test, the Scythe instead of the cooler box is utilized. The volume measurements are taken with the digital sound level meter Voltcraft 320th The measuring head is in cm extension of the right side wall 20 positioned on the back of the case removed. The data are in dB (A). The measured 30.0 to 30.3 dB (A) can be described as extremely quiet. Recognizable remains here only the 2.5 "hard drive, which leaves her with 7200 revolutions per minute, a soft noise. The 32.2 dB (A) of the X2 4850e quiet under load. This makes the addition of the CPU fan noticeable, audible which now one, though unobtrusive, drafts produced. Only the test board the Atom 330 leaves with a penetrating non-controlled north bridge fan a nervous impression. Since it is the motherboard for an engineering sample, the final version, however, could either have a fan controller or even a passive cooling.

When evaluating a nettop one should always bear in mind that such systems often cost compact a multiple of what the atom-based platforms has to pay. Mini-ITX can become a costly feature. Intel's Atom, this is not the case - not even with the Atom 330 for about 70 €. But the computing power offered is very short, if also referred to as sufficient. For HD video, it also has this time not enough. The equipment is not very abundant, but ultimately holds out ready nettop platform, the necessary connections. A DVI port would be a useful advance. While one should assess sympathetic because of the compact Mini-ITX form factor, the price / performance ratio compared to competing uATX-Boards as the tested Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2H, remains unambiguously that a nettop unable to set new standards in energy efficiency. At idle, the AMD platform, keep playing and also offers the following by giving consideration to the minimum required operating voltage different from the atomic potential platform for further optimization of power consumption. Under load the AMD subjects draw but more likely but also faster, which may qualify an over quickly.
