Render Tests
CineBench 10
This rendering benchmark based off of the Cinema 4D engine is a terrific indicator for multi-threaded processing.

The single threaded results clearly show a performance advantage for VIA’s Nano processor design when it comes to this type of work load.  Even when we enable the multi-threaded version of the test, the single-core HyperThreaded Atom 230 is still slower than the single-core single-threaded VIA Nano CPU.  However, the dual-core Atom 330, with its 4 threads of processing is able to finally take a comfortable lead in performance. 


POV-Ray 3.7 Beta
POV-Ray has long been the poster child for multi-threaded processing and rendering.

Our POV-Ray result is very similar to the results from CineBench 10 – the VIA Nano CPU is able to outpace the single core Atom but the new dual-core Atom 330 has enough processing ability to take the overall lead.
