X201s w/SSD Windows Experience Index

[dfumento]

For those that might be interested in performance of the X201s with SSD (Intel X25-M generation 2 160 GB) here are the results for the system in my signature.

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU L 640 @ 2.13GHz 6.4
Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB 5.9
Graphics Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator HD 3.3
Gaming graphics 1696 MB Total available graphics memory 4.8
Primary hard disk 67GB Free (149GB Total) 7.7

My X200 with 500GB Hitachi 7200 is...

6.2
5.9
4.1
3.4
5.9

My X200s (see signature) with stock Toshiba SSD:

Processor: 5.7
Memory: 5.7
Graphics: 4.1
Gaming graphics: 4.7
Primary hard disk: 6.9

Correction: the gaming graphics score above is for the laptop screen (1280x800). The gaming graphics score drops to 4.2 when run with the 1920x1200 HP monitor connected.

I re-ran the test and got basically the same results.

What I find curious is that the X200s (normal) graphics is faster on the X200s w/SSD than the X201s w/SSD. On the X201s there is a very large disparity between Graphics (3.3) and Graphics Gaming (4.8 ). On the X200s the same tests are 4.1 and 4.2 or roughly the same.

If you're comparing your results with mine then you need to factor in the lower screen resolution of my X200s (WXGA, or 1280x800). In my experience this has an impact on the Windows Experience gaming graphics scores.

(Note that I've amended this and my previous post as I've realised that the gaming graphics score was for the HP screen when I found some screenshots that I've taken previously of the Windows Experience window.)

I thought the X200s (at least with the SL 9600 type processor, type 7465) was WXGA+ 1440x900. I used to have an X200s and it was also SL9600 and had the WXGA+ 1440x900.

But if you do have a 1280x800 screen, it does make sense that the scores would be higher than a 1440x900 display.

The X200s wasn't available with the WXGA+ screen from Lenovo in the UK when I purchased it.

Since running the Windows Experience Index test in June I've updated my system to 8 GB RAM and it now runs Windows 7 x64 SP1 RC. The new numbers are much better than the old ones!
