Before we discuss, let it be known that this is only a performance rating!!!
These figures come from an image that Conics took of the SC3 yesterday. They’ve surprised me somewhat. Are we looking at a device that could be as spritely as a Q1 Ultra Premium?
| SC3 | Processor – 2.7 | Memory – 4.2 | Graphics – 2.9 | Gaming – 3.0 | HDD – 4.3 |
| Q1 U P | Processor – 2.9 | Memory – 4.4 | Graphics – 2.3 | Gaming – 2.8 | HDD – 3.6 |
Remember the SC3 uses a Z520 at 1.33Ghz (with 533 FSB and Hyperthreading) and the test was done with 2GB of memory installed and Vista SP1.
We’ll find out soon enough because our order is due to ship from Japan today.
Q1 U Premium scores from Frank.

Wow, this is getting better and better.
I can’t wait to see results for the Gigabyte M912X.
How will a 1.6GHz Diamondville compare with a 1.33GHz Silverthorne?
What would excite me the most is a Kohjinsha SX3 with a Z540 Silverthorne, even if it means paying a higher price…
I’ve read that Poulsbo might have HD hardware decoding support built in, if you could test that when you get one, it’d be much appreciated.
