ARM Cortex-A9 PandaBoard ES Benchmarks @ Phoronix

The majority of ARM based computer systems are found in mobile devices like PDAs and smart phones, of course that isn't all the technology is good for.

The performance of the dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 OMAP4460 configuration as found on the PandaBoard ES is quite commendable and in this Phoronix review the dual-core 1.2GHz ARM system with PowerVR SGX540 graphics is being compared to several Intel Atom, Pentium M, and Core Duo configurations running Ubuntu Linux throughout. To spice things up, the pre-production OLPC XO-1.75 was also thrown into the testing mix with its single-core ARMv7 800MHz Sheeva processor.

The PandaBoard seems pretty good for a system that is smaller than Mini-ITX and still supports desktop technologies.
