Memory bandwidth, latency, HEXUS.PiFast, WAV encoding
Both platforms run dual-channel memory that provides a potential 11.47GB/s and 12.8GB/s for the AMD and Intel platforms, respectively.
We see that, according to SiSoft SANDRA's buffered benchmark, the AMD 780G is able to better harness the potential on tap, and it's vitally important when IGPs' bandwidth is derived from it. AMD's 780G's need to be pulled via the HT link, and the exact speed is dependent upon processor used.
Memory-access latency, though, is similar on both fronts.
Intel's Pentium Dual-Core E2180 is a little faster than the AMD Athlon X2 4850e in both the single-threaded HEXUS.PiFast number-crunching and dual-threaded WAV-encoding tests.
