Due to the slower CPU and a graphics core with lower performance, the AV3220H1 cannot gain an edge the competing notebook from Asus.

3D Mark 2001

The KN400A Northbridge with an integrated Unichrome graphics core boasts much greater performance than the VIA-ProSavage core of the KN266 in the Averatec 3150P. However, compared to Intel's integrated graphics solution (the 855GM in the Asus mobile PC), the AV3220H1 falls way short.

This benchmark also shows that the Wintel notebook has much better 3D performance.
