AMD Athlon 5350 (Kabini AM1 Platform) FS1b APU Review (w/ Sapphire R7 240 Low Profile)

Cinebench R15

We tested the chip's single- and multi-core performance using Cinebench R15. OpenGL performance was also recorded.

Unfortunately we did not have access to data for the single-core result for AMD's Kaveri A10-7850K APU.

The 2.05GHz quad-core Athlon 5350 APU delivers a respectable score in the Cinebench R15 CPU test. AMD indicated that Kabini's ‘Jaguar' cores are about 50% of the size of the ‘Steamroller' versions used in the company's Kaveri APU.

Looking at the performance numbers, the 50% size reduction seems to translate into approximately 50% of the performance. Given the target market of the Kabini APUs, that isn't such a bad result.

Cinebench's OpenGL test delivers a score of 14.24 FPS for the Kabini chip. That's less than half the typical score of a Kaveri APU, which is not surprising given the difference in GPU horsepower between the two models.

The Athlon 5350 delivers just over half the performance of AMD's A10-7850K in the Sandra Arithmetic test. Put into perspective, the Athlon 5350 is a 25W part versus the 95W TDP for the A10-7850K.

Sandra Cryptographic

The Athlon 5350 delivers promising encryption and decryption performance, as proven by the Sandra Cryptographic test.

According to data gathered from the Kaveri-powered system, AMD's Athlon 5350 out-muscles the A10-7850K in the SHA-256 test. Reasons for the performance differentials could include varied memory speeds and different drive configurations between the two systems.

  1. does the Single-Channel memory slow down add-on GPU cards as well ?

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
