For this test we choose the most popular and favored by all archiver - WinRAR (3.80). The program has integrated benchmark, with which you could for example measure how much time will it take to compress say 100MB source code or how many megabytes will get compressed for one minute. Instead of this we did something more true to real life, being more similar to often occurring scenarios and all. We took a 500MB mp3 file directory (122 files they were) and timed how long would it take to for the music to get compressed into *.rar archive and then get decompressed. We used the most effective (and slow) method for compressing that WinRAR has.
Compressing was almost identical for both chipsets. Still, P45 was 2 seconds slower (about 1%).
Decompressing was dead on match. Maybe even if we had the means of measuring the fractions of the second, the difference would be insignificant.
