Yesterday I delivered some interesting results showing Freescale's i.MX6 quad-core ARM SoC outperforming one of the original Intel Atom SOCs, with both devices being from low-powered Linux-friendly CompuLab PCs. While the full review of the i.MX6-based CompuLab Utilite is still being written, here's some more preview benchmarks comparing the quad-core i.MX6 to the Atom Z530 to a NVIDIA Tegra 2 to a low-power Ivy Bridge CPU.

The early benchmarks to share in this article ahead of the full review of the Utilite Computer are of the Atom Z530 based Fit-PC2, the NVIDIA Tegra 2 Trim-Slice, and Core i7 3517UE Intense-PC. For more information on these great low-power Linux PCs, visit CompuLab's web-sites.

For this four-way CompuLab device testing, all devices were running the Phoronix Test Suite and then benchmarked with a variety of computational tests. In the complete review of the Utilite will be more systems compared along with performance-per-Watt results. In this article today are just early preview figures for those curious about these low-power PCs out of Israel or for running your own performance comparisons.
