Surprisingly, the Jetway NF81-T56N-LF lagged behind the Jetway NC98-525-LF, although on paper, the combination of the AMD eOntario T56N and AMD Radeon HD 6310 should be more powerful than the Intel Atom D525 and NVIDIA ION 2. However, the results clearly show that the latter is more powerful. This is probably due to the fact that the AMD build does not have dedicated graphics memory, since it has to use the main memory in order to run the tests. This is significantly slower and much less efficient. It may be a good idea to add on some dedicated graphics memory in the future. Not surprisingly, the CPU test favored the T56N, since it runs better than the D525 in non-multithreaded applications.
