Intel® Atom™ N270
The Intel Atom N270 is a laptop processor released on June 3, 2008. It has 1 core and 2 threads, a base clock of 1.60 GHz, a 3 W TDP and the FCBGA437 socket.
Overview
SummaryThe Intel Atom N270 is a laptop processor with 1 cores and 2 threads. It launched in Jun 2008. It uses the FCBGA437 socket. Rated TDP is 2.5 W.
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Atom N270 scores 174 in single-core performance and 136 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 154 for overall performance, 332 for productivity performance, 388 for creator performance, 125 for engineering performance and 556 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 136 per core, 68 per thread and 54 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 97. Its performance index is 2, so its overall performance is 98% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
7 workloadsScores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.
In the individual workload tests the Intel Atom N270 scores 122 in integer math, 265 in floating-point math, 3,961 in compression, 43 in cryptography, 22 in physics simulation, 39 in vector SIMD and 488 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 100% below in integer math, 99% below in floating-point math, 98% below in compression, 100% below in cryptography, 98% below in physics simulation, 100% below in vector SIMD and 98% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.
