AMD's Kabini parts are low-cost, low-power APU products designed to meet the needs of entry-level users. As such, we will test the Athlon 5350 APU in a number of compute benchmarks and real-world tests to outline its CPU and GPU performance, as well as the system performance of the AM1 platform.
AMD AM1 – Kabini – Test System:
- APU: AMD Athlon 5350 2.05GHz.
- Graphics: Integrated Radeon R3.
- Motherboard: MSI AM1I.
- Memory: 4GB (1x 4GB) AMD Entertainment Series 1600MHz CL9.
- CPU Cooler: Stock 1A213LQ00 CPU cooler.
- System Drive: 240GB SanDisk Extreme II SSD.
- Power Supply: be quiet! Straight Power 400W.
- Operating System: Windows 7 Professional with SP1 64-bit.
Comparison Configurations:
Unfortunately we do not have access to a Bay Trail processor to use as a comparison for the Athlon 5350 APU. As a recognisable reference point, we will be plucking data from a previous review conducted on a system powered by an AMD A10-7850K ‘Kaveri' chip.
- Falcon Computers Dead Silence Kaveri Gaming BattleRig (A10-7850K ‘Kaveri' / 8GB 2133MHz).
Settings:
- AMD 14.20 Beta8 drivers.
Software Suite:
- Cinebench R15 64 bit (CPU)
- HandBrake 0.9.9.1 (CPU)
- WinRAR 5.10 beta 2 (CPU)
- SiSoft Sandra 2014 (CPU, System, Memory)
- 3DMark (System)
- PCMark 8 v2 (System)
- DiRT Showdown (Gaming)
- Bioshock Infinite (Gaming)
- ATTO (General)
- VLC Media Player 2.1.3 (General)
does the Single-Channel memory slow down add-on GPU cards as well ?
wonder how much slower the CPU will be with a older gDDR5 mid-rangeR7 card
I already got a R7 260x looking for a home for a 1.1/2 year till the upgrade
wonder if moving to a cheap FM2 is best ! ??
I am running this cpu with an AMD RX 480. Just for the lulz and while i wait for my Intel CPU.
Only register to say this: What in the hell was thinking the article maker, attacking that fake picture of the GPUZ ? I bought this piece of crap thinking the data was legit, just to find he take some random picture from internet from the hd 8400 card, and put that here. The real performance from the APU chip is 12,8 gb/sec, not 25,6.. You just ruin my build and make me to waste money (i already have a sempron 3850 who its GPU performs exactly the same. Damn internet, i dunno why i keep trusting jhon doe reviewers.
Correct the data with real gpuz info dude, before more people makes a mistake.
Man, did AMD screw up marketing this thing. “Rebranding” the socket from FSb1 to AM1 was a feat of search engine de-optimization. Marketing morons.
