Before the test platform overview, we have reported the article "ARM has many cattle Ubuntu12.04 Performance Test see Xiao" (http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2012-02/53579.htm), learn about the performance of Ubuntu12.04 based on ARM architecture. However, can the current ARM hardware platform compete with Intel's low-end x86 platform? In this article, we will show you how the ARM and Intel Core, Pentium, Atom hardware platforms are deployed in Ubuntu
Test Platform Overview
Before that, we have reported "ARM has many cattle Ubuntu 12.04 Performance Test see Xiao (http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2012-02/53579.htm) article, understand Ubuntu 12.04 based on the performance of the ARM architecture. However, can the current ARM hardware platform compete with Intel's low-end x86 platform? In this article, we will show you how to compare the performance of ARM and Intel Core, Pentium, and Atom hardware platforms in Ubuntu 12.04.
First, we will also introduce the test platform. PandaBoard ES Based on OMAP4460 and Intel Atom N270, Pentium M750, and Intel Core dual core T2400.
Test Platform
Like previous tests, we have used a widely used testing tool in the industry for testing. First, we conduct a C-Ray multi-thread test. We can see the specific results below:
C-Ray Testing
Apache Benchmark Test
The Apache static Web page running on Ubuntu 12.04 Based on PandaBoard ES is similar to Ubuntu 12.04 on the Intel Atom N270 platform. However, the latter is slightly superior, this may be because it uses SSD, while PandaBoard ES uses SDHC. ARM consumes less power than N270 Atom.
