For SATA 6Gbps testing we use a Kingston HyperX (SF-2281) SSD. We tested USB 3.0 performance using the same Kingston HyperX SSD connected to a SATA 6Gbps to USB 3.0 adapter powered by an ASMedia ASM1053 controller.
SATA
Full-blooded SATA 6Gbps performance is an important parameter for the AM1 platform. Intel's competing configuration is limited to SATA 3Gbps connections.
To users considering the AM1 platform for a low-powered storage system, the SATA 6Gbps support could be a deciding factor, even if its full performance is not yet reached by high-capacity storage drives.
USB 3.0
Support for two USB 3.0 ports is another key selling point for the AM1 platform. The Intel competition typically provides a single USB 3.0 connection.
Speed of the Kabini-provided USB 3.0 ports is likely to be sufficient for entry-level users. The connections are not as fast as those used on mainstream platforms, but they are perfectly adequate for fast transfers between external HDD-based storage.
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.
