The Google Chromebook with codenamed Asurada manages to score 480 points in single-core and 1,728 in multi-core Geekbench benchmark testing. Previously, it was expected that the Chromebook with codename Asurada will launch with MediaTek 8192. The chipset is said to be an upgrade over the MediaTek 8183 processor (aka Helio P60T).
