No such problems were encountered in PCMark Vantage, where the Znote 3415W consistently trailed only the Rock X770 T7800-8800, which utilised a faster 2.6GHz T7800 and the blisteringly quick 8800M GTX. However, looking at some of the most CPU intensive tests, it's clear that the T9300 offers some advantages. For example, in the Music test suite the Zepto actually edges out the Rock, while it comes out a clear winner in the Productivity tests.

Overall results were as expected, with the extra L2 Cache of the T9300 likely accounting for the areas where it really excels. Since it shares the same architecture as the 65nm Merom CPUs the difference was never going to be marked, but a difference there certainly is.
