#CPU Rating

For the longest time, we're all still confused about the performance of a lot of netbooks and CULV ultraportable notebooks sporting low-power CPUs. Though not very accurate, I'd say the Windows Experience Index sub-score of the CPU gives us a good perspective on the processor's capabilities. First, let's look at the line-up of CPUs currently being used on netbooks and ultraportables in the market. You will notice that a lot of factors do affect the WEI sub-scores of the CPU. Likewise, the TDP (thermal design power) clearly draws the line between what CPUs are for netbooks and which ones are for CULV. Likewise, the TDPs will also give you an idea on how efficient in power consumption each CPU performs which consequently affects how long a standard battery will last on the units. This is because the graphics chip is already integrated into the CPU. The old 945GSE/ICH7M combo has a TDP rating of 9.3W and add the 2.5 watts from the Atom CPU and you get 11.8 watts.
