VISION Platform Of New Face, HP DM3-1001AX Review by Brandnewbattery
Hardware configuration and low-power high-performance discrete graphics processor combination
dm3-1001AX uses the AMD dual-core Athlon Neo processors L335 is the second generation of NEO processor, clocked at 1.6GHz, a cache configuration as the 2 × 128KB, secondary cache is upgraded to 2 × 256KB, supports DDR2-667 / 533 SO-DIMM / U-DIMM memory, support for 64-bit computing, EVP anti-virus, ECC error checking, Digital Media Xpress digital multimedia technology. Although this processor is still using 65nm process, but a TDP of only 18W, with single-core Athlon Neo MV-40 1.6GHz compared to only improve the 3W, but it has a more substantial performance improvement.
In addition to replacing the dual-core processor, the second generation of ultra-thin mobile platform chipset will upgrade to a more powerful M780G, the chipset North Bridge and SB750 South Bridge by the RS780G composition.
Graphics cards is the use of ATI Radeon HD3200 with ATi Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics card combination, HD 4330 GPU core, code-named M92, process technology 55nm, memory capacity of 512MB GDDR3. 4330 is the entry-HD4000 series products, chip 242 million transistors, 80 SP unit, to support 64-bit GDDR3/DDR3/DDR2 memory to support 12x CFAA antialiasing, DX10.1 and OpenGL 2.0, does not support CrossFireX. Another HD4330 also supports PowerPlay, PowerXpress, Swithable Graphics and a series of energy-saving technologies.
The ATI Radeon HD3200 is the AMD M780G chipset integrated graphics, special effects and graphics to support DirectX10 HT3.0, PCIE2.0 technology, ATI PowerPlay technology can be achieved through superior performance and longer battery life. On the screen, dm3-1001AX with the same resolution of 1366X768 pixels 13.3-inch LED-backlit screen, this model LG Philips LP133WH2-TLA2 LCD screen 16:9 aspect ratio, with a resolution of 1366X768 pixels, users can provide better high-definition video playback.
Storage function, dm3-1001AX with a single 2GB of DDR 800MHz memory with capacity of 250GB 7200 RPM high speed hard drive, 2GB of memory has the capacity to meet the needs of most mainstream applications, and 7200, 250GB hard drive is to the current mainstream level, in addition to large capacity with 250GB storage capacity, the speed to reach 7200 this hard drive supports SATA-II interface, with the SB750 southbridge to achieve faster 3.0Gbps transfer rate, while 7200′s high-speed usersprovides a very good disk performance.
Network communication capacity, dm3-1001AX with the approach adopted for the Realtek RTL8102E/RTL8103E Fast Ethernet and Atheros AR9285 802.11b / g wireless card combinations. Some of which support wired LAN 10/100M network links, and some of the wireless network card can support 802.11b / g protocol, the maximum speed can reach 54Mbps.
Poor processor performance assessment systems affect the whole system performance
We use a series of test software to determine this dm3-1001AX the actual performance of the test, we installed the English version of Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Version6.1.7600 version of the operating system to be tested. Test content will include the Windows System Assessment, SYSmark2007 Preview, Mobilemark2007, PCMark Vantange other variety of test software.
Test software environment
Operating system Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Version 6.1.7600
Chipset driver Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385
Graphics driver ATi 8.635.1.2000
NIC Driver 7.2.1127.2008 (Realtek RTL8102E/RTL8103E)
2.0.0.74 (Atheros AR9285 802.11b / g WiFi Adapter)
Audio Driver 6.10.6230.0
Assessment from the system point of view, this dm3-1001AX overall final score of 3.5 in each sub-item, the processor performance of 4.1 points, becoming the lowest-scoring children, from in front of us on this dm3-1001AX hardware configuration used in analysis, such a result is not unusual, after all, L335 absolute frequency is relatively low, while the cache is relatively low, while its orientation determines that it is a main low-power processors , then the processor must be made between performance and power balance and compromise, it also scored 4.1 points better for us to reveal the proper performance of this processor.
As with the HD 4330 graphics, so graphics score in the assessment of two projects, respectively, were 4.4 points and 5.9 points, from system evaluation with the help of content, the 4.4 desktop display performance for users on AERO and other Windows desktop effects are also not significantly affected, and scored 5.9 points assessment can help users get the better of the game, commercial 3D processing performance.
In other children, although dm3-1001AX only comes standard with 2GB of memory, but it uses faster DDR2 800MHz memory, so its assessment results have been relatively high scores of 4.9 points, this trend with us AMD products over the past evaluation strikingly similar, I believe that the user memory to 3GB or 4GB capacity expansion after the score will be further improved. Hard drive thanks in part to 3.0Gbps SATA-II interface, transfer rate, 250GB of capacity and 7200 RPM, got a score of 5.9, and the game tied for the entire system performance, the highest score.
Assessment scores to analyze the integrated system, although some of the desktop graphics score is low, but its AERO and other user applications and the Windows desktop effects will not cause any effect, while the processor shown in the assessment of performance for the part of the mainstream is still sufficient, but if conditions allow, or to those who try to avoid the application of a heavier burden on the processor, so as not to affect system performance.
Machine performance testing than the general performance of the office and home entertainment
In machine performance testing part, we mainly use the SYSmark2007 Preview and PCMark Vantange, SiSoftware Sandra Professional v2009 software testing, BAPCo SYSmark2007 Preview including E-Learning, Office Productivity, Video Creation, 3D Modeling of four modules, Internet users were simulated learning , office applications, image creation, 3D modeling, each module represents a typical business user applications. Combination of these four scores to work out a system evaluation score.This is a very close to the practical application of the user test software, test systems for stability, good compatibility requirements, the results presented are very valuable.
From the final score of view, this product of the four sub-tests results and the final score remained at a low level, and this is more in line with the hardware configuration of this product, especially the performance of the processor should be from sub-tests show that, in four sub-item, dm3-1001AX images to create a performance slightly higher than the office applications, 3D modeling and the Internet in learning achievement, and in the remaining three children, the office application performance and better than the other two. About 60-80 minutes from the breakdown of scores and total score of 69 points of view, so the test results indicate that the user during the application of these four programs, the user will get a general application experience, there will be neither prominent performance will not be poor performance so users can not run related to the operation, while taking into account the positioning of this product with the hardware configuration, so the performance can still be acceptable, after all, its design is not used as an office machine, so we do not have too look forward to the performance of their office.
Futuremark PCMark Vantage is the release of a new generation of PCMark benchmarking software to measure all types of PC’s overall performance. Compared to the previous version of PCMark06, PCMark Vantage the overall structure of the more obvious changes from the previous several subsystems according to the PC gradually divided into sub-items according to use, closer to the user’s actual use, but also more focused on the user’s reference value larger.
Alone was quite satisfactory performance graphics system screen color saturation performance of the slightly prominent
In the graphic part of the test, we used the latest test software Futuremark 3DMark Vantage, which is the industry’s first set of specialized interfaces based on Microsoft DX10 API, Windows Vista operating system to create a comprehensive benchmarking tool, to fully play multiple cards, advantage of multi-core processors, in the current and future period of time to meet the needs of PC system performance test game. 3DMark Vantage provides a new project to build the two graphics tests, two-processor test items, six characteristics of test items, and the introduction of four different levels of parameters preset (Preset), reflect the more detailed level of system performance. In the test, we will adjust the same system resolution 1024 × 768, using the test software provided by the Entry mode for testing.
From the above test results, although with a HD 4330 graphics card, but because of positioning’s sake, its only got 3219 points and 3633 points overall performance of the GPU test scores, although such a result that can meet their part of the mainstream of the game applications, but run into some large-scale 3D game will still be inadequate, and we need to note that the 2400 processor test scores tell us very clearly, for those who require a processor with high performance 3D games and applications , the processor’s performance is likely to affect the whole system performance.
We also used TOPCON’s BM-7 spectral colorimeter for the dm3-1001AX screen were tested in the test we chose for the screen brightness, contrast and color saturation test.Brightness test, we let the display full-screen white screen on the center of the screen tests, contrast tests also used the same test method. When we measure the color saturation monitor to show the red (R), green (G), blue (B), and then test the center of the screen color values. In the CIE color space R, G, B three points around the triangle area is the display area can display all the color, the size of the region defined RGB and NTSC 1953 color range of the area ratio is the color saturation. sRGB standard definition of the color range of approximately 71% NTSC, which is normal CRT monitors can now meet the standard.
HP DM3-1001AX Notebook display test results
TOPCON BM-7 spectral colorimeter
Average brightness 257.3cd / ?
Contrast (ANSI) 366.9:1
Color saturation is equivalent to 54.85% NTSC color gamut
In the test, we test the optimization of the actual brightness of 257.3cd/m2, and was 366.9:1 contrast, color saturation, the test values ??of 54.85%. From the final test results, dm3-1001AX equipped with this LCD has a relatively good color saturation performance of its 54.85% of the measured data than the prevailing market level of around 50% good for some, but the brightness and contrast of the target are in similar products on the market average. Leveraging our experience in the test trial of view, dm3-1001AX the LCD screen as a piece of good color saturation, so the playback, including video, photos, etc. better than the performance of similar products.
Less than 3 hours hp pavilion dm3-1001ax battery life performance significantly affected by the power
In the notebook, we will run Productivity module and DVD module test, and record their performance scores and life. In the Internet, we will run the Reader module and the DVD module. In this product we have tested the high-intensity office and DVD player two areas, which simulate high-intensity office to run aspects of daily office users access to various software and system will be mixed, ranging from intermittent time to the maximum extent simulate user operating environment. The DVD part of the test is simulated home environment, the more extreme DVD playback test, we test the DVD module used in the virtual drive, computer hard drives to read data from the test, so the use of drive test data and there will be some bias, However, we believe that such a test method rather than using more close to the DVD drive to read the user’s habits, after all, most used in the playback of video or more read data from the hard drive.
In the test, we close the screensaver, sleep, and set the Battery and the system are the highest performance mode, the test session in the office environment, dm3-1001AX piece of battery power remaining 1% of the conditions to provide users with 166 minutes life, while the DVD player part of the final test score of 129 minutes. This has been achieved with a high speed hard drive for a high-performance graphics card, the same time have low power, ultra-thin products as the main selling point is not unacceptable, but less than 3 hours of office life relative to the market some of the same grade of product or low number, it may not be used to meet the needs of some users to go out, and this indicator will also directly affect the poor end user choice.
Testing Center view: light enough chronic problems affecting the user selected temperature less
After reading the evaluation, our view is thin enough, but the temperature control and power consumption and Hp pavilion dm4 battery life performance of this product will discourage many users do not know whether you are our point of view consistent. We come to this conclusion on the basis that although this product’s performance discrete graphics, high-speed large-capacity hard drives and high-speed memory to provide users with a better overall performance, but this product under high load high fever and high power to bring life time directly to the users comfort and experience a serious impact, and those who value both for the user, these shortcomings have been enough to be crossed out from the selection list.
Overall appearance of this product with the performance, we believe that this product is suitable for those who have certain requirements for appearance of the product, while in the application to run day to day office software, text applications, light-load-based 3D games and entertainment users use, while this product better screen color saturation performance is more suitable for those who frequently use their laptop or hp pavilion dm3 battery go out to view photos photography user to select the one hand, the screen can enhance the color saturation, excellent image display, on the other hand ultra-thin The body design also makes this product more suitable to carry out.
