The Core-M has more execution units (24) than the i5 (20), however, is clocked slower -- 1100 mhz vs 950 mhz. So, depending on how the graphics pipeline is being used, it&#x27;s rather conceivable that certain tests will be faster on the lower speed processor. Especially with how intel&#x27;s playing with what sort of graphics unit goes with what chip, counterintuitive results can and will happen.
