Business Winstone 2002 establishes a trend which should not be too surprising and will continue throughout the remainder of the benchmarks: the Pentium M processor is faster than the Pentium III-M processor. Notice how both the 1.5GHz and 1.6GHz Pentium M machines outperform the Electrovaya SC500 by 51% and 37% respectively. The 866MHz desktop system was only able to pull ahead by 6% thanks to its desktop hard drive for the most part.

You may be wondering why we included Pentium M solutions into the mix considering the SC500 is a Pentium III-M based solution and no tablets that we know of use the Pentium M as of yet. The answer is simple: we guarantee that it is only a mater of weeks before the first Pentium M tablets hit the market and only a matter of months before the whole Pentium III-M line is replaced by the Pentium M. It is for this reason that we threw some Centrino and Pentium M solutions into the mix to demonstrate where performance of tablets will be in a few months time.

The Pentium M chips maintain healthy leads over the Pentium III-M found in the Electrovaya Scribbler SC500 in Office Productivity SYSMark 2002. Here the two Pentium M chips we compared the tablet to were able to outperform the system by 78% and 66% respectively. The desktop Pentium III 866MHz system did slightly better than our tablet by going 7% faster.
