I was referring to 3d benchmarks, as video playback doesn't matter to me, certainly not 720p on a screen that cannot display it anyways. If you look at 3d game benchmarks, even the least demanding of games, the Chrome9 performs horribly almost always, and in the cases where it does perform acceptable, the GMA950 still outpaces it.
