Intel Atom 2GB Memory Performance
Most netbooks currently on the market offer 512MB or 1GB of system memory and only a single DDR2 SO-DIMM slot. However, with most of the netbooks a 2GB memory module could be easily installed, but what performance benefits does that yield for an Intel Atom powered device? In this article we have a few benchmarks comparing the 1GB versus 2GB memory performance on the Atom-powered Samsung NC10.
The Samsung NC10 uses the standard Intel Atom N270 1.60GHz, has a 1024 x 600 10.2" display, Intel graphics, and did have a 160GB 5400RPM HDD before we replaced it with an OCZ Core Series V2 32GB SSD. Running on the software side we were using a development snapshot of Ubuntu 9.04 with the Linux 2.6.28-3 i686 kernel, xf86-video-intel 2.5.1, Mesa 7.3, GCC 4.3.3, X Server 1.5.99.3, and GNOME 2.25.3. IcedTea6 1.4 was providing the Java support and the Intel graphics driver was using EXA acceleration. Intel SpeedStep Technology was also left enabled.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
