Intel Atom D525 vs Intel Atom N435 vs Apple A6

Intel Atom D525

► remove from comparison

The Intel Atom D525 is a dual core processor that is intended for nettops, but also used in netbooks (like the Asus Eee PC 1215N). It consists out of two Atom cores clocked at 1.8 GHz and due to HyperThreading, the D525 is able to process four threads at a time. The D525 misses Speedstep and is therefore running at 1.8 GHz all the time (and using a lot more power than other Atoms without load).

In the processor package, the Atom D525 has an integrated DDR2/DDR3 memory controller and the GMA 3150 called graphics card.

The performance of the D525 can be on a level of slow clocked single core CPUs like the Intel SU2700 or AMD K125 if both cores are used. In single threaded applications, the performance is clearly worse and only on the level of a 1.8 GHz Atom CPU.

Intel Atom N435

► remove from comparison Intel N435

The Intel Atom N435 is a small and cheap entry level CPU for Netbooks and small laptops. In the package is an integrated memory controller for DDR2/DDR3 main memory and the GMA 3150 graphics card

The performance of the whole system (Atom N435 and integrated GMA 3150) is only sufficient for basic tasks like surfing the web, or office working. HD video, video cutting, advanced photo editing, multitasking and of course gaming may overstrain the GPU and CPU. Compared to the previous Atom generation, the performance of the CPU is on a level with the slow Atom Z520.

An advantage of the interation, is the small overall power consumption of the CPU, GPU and memory controller (only 5 Watt TDP). Therefore, the chip is ideally used in small Netbooks and thin laptops.

Apple A6

► remove from comparison

The Apple A6 is a dual-core SoC found in the iPhone 5 with ARM compatible CPU cores. The A6 was developed by Apple and supports the extended ARMv7s instruction set. The clock rate of the CPU is between 800 to 1200 MHz depending on the CPU load. The integrated GPU is a PowerVR SGX543MP3 at 266 MHz.
