Computation Performance

In the following tests, we run the laptop through a series of number crunching exercises which tests primarily the CPU and memory of the system. These results will interest any user who does a lot of calculations as a daily activity like in spreadsheets, video editing, or image processing.

Mathematical computation isn’t exactly the mALX’s strong point. With a single processor it simply can not accomplish intensive math operations as quickly as Intel. The mALX wouldn’t really be good for intense business applications, but then again why would you want to buy an SLI notebook like this for work? (unless your work happens to be building or playing games :).
