MSI TurboBook GX600 Gaming Notebook
Cinebench 10 is a benchmarking tool based on the powerful 3D software Cinema 4D. The suite uses complex renders to guage the performance of the entire PC system in both single-core and multi-core modes. Testing was performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest results being omitted and an average created from the remaining 3 results.
3DMark is a popular synthetic gaming benchmark used by many gamers and overclockers to gauge the performance of their PC’s. All 3DMark runs were performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest results being removed and an average calculated from the remaining 3 results.
POV-Ray is short for the Persistence of Vision Raytracer, a tool for producing high-quality computer graphics. The freely available software suite is bundled with a benchmarking scene that uses many of POV-Ray’s internal features to heavily test the abilities of the CPU.
Result Observations
Both Cinebench and POV-Ray rely heavily on the performance of the CPU, and as the results show, the MSI GX600 with its T8300 CPU performs close to that of a Desktop PC. However, while the turbo button makes a significant difference in both of these benchmarks, the 3DMark results hardly change. This could possibly indicate that the 8600M GT graphics processor is going to prove a bottleneck in 3D gaming results.
