Intel Atom N455 vs Intel Atom N435 vs Apple A6x

Intel Atom N455

► remove from comparison Intel N455

The Intel Atom N455 is a small and cheap entry level CPU for Netbooks and small laptops. In the package is an integrated memory controller for DDR3 main memory (the difference to the Atom N450) and the GMA 3150 graphics card. 

The performance of the whole system (Atom N455 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 gain is only marginally above a similar clocked Atom N280 / GMA 950.

An advantage of the combination, is the small overall power consumption of the CPU, GPU and memory controller (only 6.5 Watt TDP). Intel states 20% power reduction and 60% package reduction. Therefore, the chip is ideally used in small Netbooks, MIDs, and thin laptops. Compared to the Z500 series combined with the US15W chipset (2.4+2.3 W), the power consumption is similar.

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 A6x

► remove from comparison

The Apple A6x is a dual-core-SoC (System on a Chip) with ARM compatible CPU cores (ARMv7s instruction set). Both can be clocked at up to 1400 MHz depending on the load. It is used in the iPad 4 and compared to the A6 in the iPhone 5, the A6x offers a faster GPU (PowerVR SGX544MP4).

The CPU-Performance of the A6x is similar to the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro MSM8960T, while the GPU is about as fast as the Adreno 320.
