User benchmark is hilariously bad, but the bigger thing is probably that on a dual core chip all the background nonsense matters a lot more. Slack eating 2/3rds of a core for no reason? There goes 1/3rd of your performance. Windows downloading an update? There goes another third. Also a low power chip like this is fairly likely to only get 1 channel of it’s ram filled in (saves power and cost) which can slow things down.
