AMD AM1 Kabini Part 2: Athlon 5350/5150 and Sempron 3850/2650 Tested

With certain classes of CPUs, using the IGP for web-based activities (such as those heavy in Javascript and HTML 5 elements) can be comparable to the higher end smartphone and tablet implementations. These tests help to emulate large, real-world web applications running inside mobile browsers. To this extent we use the following tests to compare the lower powered mobile devices through to the higher end desktop market.

I'm not sure I understand the power chart on page 2. Is the title correct? Power difference? So the numbers we are seeing are power differentials between idle and load and not absolute values?casteve - Friday, May 30, 2014 - link
Ian uses a 1250W PSU in this setup. So, absolute value is pretty meaningless when your system idles down in the low efficiency (and high slope) part of the power supply's curve. The delta power part at least provides an idea of what's going on.jospoortvliet - Sunday, June 1, 2014 - link
Yet idle power is quite important - cpu's are idle most of the time...coburn_c - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - link
There's your future of AMD. Scaling up Jaguar will fix their code/module problems and improve their perf/watt. There is certainly no future in their big cores.rootheday3 - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - link
Ivy Bridge gt1 was 6 eus; bay trail is 4 eus.jvp - Friday, May 30, 2014 - link
What is missing in this review is that some Intel processors have stripped down instruction sets. Like the Celeron J1900 with which the Athlon 5350 is compared as direct competitor.I'm also missing tests about performance when using virtual machines, and hardware accelerated encryption. These are area's that are becoming more and more important for systems.

this is lovely, thanks, but how long before we get beema in socket AM1?R3MF - Friday, May 30, 2014 - link
in addition, do i understand correctly that:kabini is 28nm TSMC, whereas
beema is 28nm GF

thank you thank you THANK YOU for including i3-4300 series on the dGPU page! i've been wondering how they stand up to gaming on a budget as i've helped do 2 builds in the last couple months for the first time in years!Icehawk - Friday, May 30, 2014 - link
I'm with prior posters - testing these low end machines with current games is all well and good but also unlikely to happen in real life. Can these handle games I'd be more likely to want to play on a low power device like TF2 or Diablo 3? NO CLUE.
