i have an eGPU r7 260x, i want to try it on my N3540 2.66 ghz turbo boosted cpu on my laptop, i tried searching it on thebottlenecker.com but there is no info about n3540, the eGPU works great on my 3.20 ghz turbo boosted i5-2520m laptop cpu. does the speed (ghz) affect the bottleneck ?, does higher speed reduce the chance of bottlenecking ?,what is affecting my cpu to bottleneck the gpu ?, *btw sorry for my bad grammar, im suck at english
 
Solution
Not really the clock speed so much as the architecture. The N3540 is a Bay Trail CPU, which is based off Intel's low-power Atom family. The 2520M is a MUCH faster (and less power-efficient) architecture with like 3x the performance.
