About: PiFastPiFast is a classic benchmark application designed to measure processor performance in performing intensive mathematical calculations, particularly in calculating the value of pi (π) to millions of digits. This benchmark is renowned for being lightweight, fast to run, and highly accurate in reflecting the capabilities of single-thread CPUs, making it a popular choice among overclockers and system performance testers since the early days of processors.
In PiFast testing, the system is tasked with calculating the value of pi using a fast algorithm based on high-precision mathematics. The faster the time achieved, the higher the performance of the tested CPU. Since PiFast runs on a single core (single thread), this benchmark is highly relevant for measuring the efficiency of a single core in both modern and older processors.
Features and Advantages of PiFast:
- Very lightweight and does not require installation.
- Ideal for testing system stability after overclocking.
- Focuses on single-thread performance, an important indicator in gaming and lightweight application performance.
- Provides test results in seconds, suitable for quick and repetitive testing.
- Compatible with various Windows versions, including older systems.
Although it is quite outdated compared to modern benchmarks, PiFast is still used today as a simple and effective testing tool, especially among the overclocking community and hardware enthusiasts who want to validate performance without running heavy benchmarks.
Released in 2011, the AMD C-60 is a power-efficient processor from the Ontario series built on the Bobcat architecture. It has 2 cores and 2 threads, with a base speed of 1.0 GHz that can be increased to 1.33 GHz through Turbo Core technology. Designed specifically for portable devices such as netbooks and ultraportable laptops, the C-60 is focused on power efficiency and long battery life rather than high performance. With a TDP of just 9 watts, this processor enables ultra-thin and lightweight laptop designs without the need for complex active cooling systems. The main advantage of the C-60 is its extremely low power consumption, making it an attractive solution for users who need a lightweight computing device for daily activities with high mobility.
The AMD C-60 is also equipped with an integrated Radeon HD 6290 GPU, which has 80 shader cores and supports DirectX 11. Despite its modest specifications, this GPU is sufficient for multimedia purposes such as HD video playback, light graphics rendering, and old-school games with minimal graphics settings. However, overall, the performance of the AMD C-60 is limited and only suitable for light tasks such as browsing, typing documents, and using basic office applications. This processor will feel slow when used for heavy multitasking, modern software installation, or complex web-based applications. In tests using an Acer Aspire One 522 paired with 2GB DDR3 RAM and Windows 7 operating system, the processor was able to provide a decent user experience for basic needs, but was less responsive when compared to mainstream processors of the same generation. Even so, the AMD C-60 remains a viable solution for low-cost, power-efficient devices of its time.
