In the Internet Content Creation section of SYSMark 2002 the WinBook J4 is able to realize a substantial performance advantage over the Compaq Presario 2800T 1.7GHz thanks to its 2.4GHz processor. The J4 2.4GHz performed 22% faster than the Presario 2800T 1.7GHz making it faster than many desktops out there. We can again see that a DDR bus would have increased the speed of the J4 even further. In this instance moving from an SDR to a DDR platform increased desktop performance by 8%. We can therefore estimate that the J4 would gain about 8% in Internet Content Creation SYSMark 2002 performance. This gain is anything but negligible for such a small design change.

We have shown in the past that Content Creation Winstone 2002 is very I/O stressful. It is for this reason desktop systems with faster desktop hard drives typically perform much faster in this test than notebook systems with their laptop drives. In the case of the WinBook J4 2.4GHz the system drops behind 17% thanks to its slower I/O performance.

The WinBook J4 2.4GHz was still able to beat the competition by a fairly large margin. The J4 2.4GHz outperformed the ECS i-Buddie XP with its Athlon XP 2100+ processor by 7%. Again, the desktop 2.4GHz system shows there to be a fairly large performance difference between the J4's SDR bus and a DDR one.
