Intel Celeron N3060

The Intel Celeron N3060 is a low-end dual-core SoC for notebooks. The processor cores are based on the Airmont architecture, which is basically a slightly modified shrink of the previous Silvermont core. While performance per clock has not been improved, the more efficient 14 nm process leads to a better utilization of the CPU Burst (alias Turbo Boost) and a therefore somewhat higher overall performance.
         

     The HD Graphics 400 (Braswell) is based on the Intel Gen 8 architecture, which supports DirectX 11.2 and is also found in the Broad well series (e.g. HD Graphics 5300). With 12 EUs (Execution Units) and a clock speed of up to 600 MHz, the GPU is almost twice as fast as the HD Graphics (Bay Trail), but still not powerful enough to handle modern 3D games. The dual-core chips are clocked at 1.6 GHz base speed. The boost speed on the N3050 goes up to 2.16 GHz, while the N3060 can go up to 2.48 GHz. Depending on the cooling of the SoC, the Boost clock rate of 2.48 can be held for longer periods and therefore leading to a faster performance as the older Celeron N3050 that can only reach 2.16 GHz. Its main features include Features include Intel HD Graphics 400 (Braswell, 12 EUs, 320 - 700 MHz), Wireless Display, Quick Sync, AES-NI, max. 8 GB Dual-Channel DDR3L-1600 (25,6 GB/s), 5x USB 3.0, 4x PCIe 2.0, 2x SATA 6.0 G bit/s. Have 64 bit support.Here Case quality is average around the base with some minor creaking when applying pressure on the keyboard and palm rests. The hinges are rigid up to their ~130-degree maximum angle with no teetering and we can observe no unintended gaps between materials. The lid is weaker and more susceptible to twisting as anticipated, but the outer lid in particular feels weak. Pushing down on the center of the outer lid with even minimal force will result in visible flexing. 
    

    The Celeron N3050 and N3060 consume 6 Watts of power, as opposed to 7.5 W of Bay Trail CPU s. Therefore, they are power-efficient processors and that’s their best feature besides low cost.

AMD Athlon II X2 260 Dual Core Processor

The AMD Athlon II X2 260 (P/N ADX2600CK23GM) is the fastest dual core processor in the Athlon II series. The AMD Athlon II series of processors is a very budget friendly series of processors. This processor sports the new Socket AM3 938-pin micro-PGA package so it will work in all Socket AM3 and AM2 motherboards with both DDR2/DDR3 memory solutions. The AMD Athlon II X2 260 features a nice and low TDP of only 65 Watts, which will make it easy to keep nice and cool. Enough techno-babble let’s take a look at how it performs.    Coming clocked at 3.2 GHz the AMD Athlon II X2 260 features two megabytes of L2 cache shared between two cores. This differs from the Athlon II X4 series as the X4’s share the two megabytes across all four cores in a 4×512 kilobytes pattern. Having more L2 cache per core will help in lightly threaded application. The AMD Athlon II X2 260 also features support for both DDR2 (up to 1,066 MT/s) and DDR3 (up to 1,333 MT/s). The Athlon II series is AMD’...

Lexar JumpDrive M20 16GB Mobile USB 3.0 Flash Drive

        Micron’s LexarJumpDrive M20 is our top choice because it provides a retractable micro USB 2.0 and a standard USB 3.0 male plug all-in-one, making it easier than ever to transfer files between micro USB compatible mobile devices and computers. It has an actual capacity of  14.8GB and has read Speed as   106.0 MBps, Write Speed as  15.3 MBps. The Lexar JumpDrive M20 may not be flashy in appearance with its plain white casing and blue plastic accents, but Micron makes up for this with helpful features. A nice size built-in key ring helps prevent loss, and its ability to work with phones, tablets and PCs is a huge plus.  The JumpDrive M20 read files at 106.0 MBps and wrote at 15.3 MBps, outperforming all the other USB flash drives on this list. The JumpDrive M20 has the most traditional-looking flash drive design of the dual-connector drives I've reviewed. With a white, plastic body and blue slider and end-cap, the JumpDrive M20 look...
