Atom x5-Z8350 vs Celeron N3150


Description
Both models x5-Z8350 and N3150 are based on Airmont architecture.

Airmont is a 14nm shrink of Silvermont and it’s intended for low power CPUs such as Atoms, Celerons and Pentiums models. There are two cores: Braswell (for Pcs) and Cherry Trail (for tablets)

Using the multithread performance as a reference, the x5-Z8350 gets a score of 18 k points while the N3150 gets 31.8 k points.

Summarizing, the N3150 is 1.8 times faster than the x5-Z8350. To get a proper comparison between both models, take a look to the data shown below.

Non-optimized benchmark
The benchmark in Mode 0 (FPU) measures cpu performance with non-optimized software. It uses the basic µinstructions from the i386 architecture with the i387 floating point unit. This mode is compatible with all CPUs so it's practical to compare very different CPUs

Monothread performance graph
Monothread performance graphics gives the performance vs time. They are useful to measure the time it takes to the CPU to reach the maximum performance.

Usually, CPU's performance will be steady during these tests but if it has a slow frequency strategy, the first samples will show a lower score.

Multithread performance graph
Multithread graphs measure the performance against a heavy load during certain time.

If CPU's TDP doesn't limit the frequency and the machine is properly cooled, performance should remain steady vs time. Otherwise, the performance score will oscillate or decrease over time.
