The 5350 is probably fast enough for the people that only need a computer for facebook/twitter and similar stuff. IE, most of the world.
I agree on the fan, but since the chip TDP is 25W, it's not hard to find a fanless cooler (I wouldn't be so surprised if you could just remove the fan, and just use the stock cooler).

Originally posted by wizard69 View PostYes it will an possibly substantially. In fact this is the only thing that bothers me about this early testing as you really need drivers that fully enable the chip. What we have right now is a biased set of results. Further I want to see testing with both DIMM slots filled with RAM. This is especially important for any GPU testing.

To the cpu, I really want to give out money, and I would love to get a real update to my E-350 (Zacate), but if this cpu is really nearly not faster at all, it makes no sense.
Even if that is only because the benchmarks do not well show mutli-core performance or some of them, but if 1 core is only 10% faster its just not enough to make a big difference.
I think I have to wait for beema, and because beemo will come anyway this year it nearly makes no sense to buy it anyway even if it would be faster. But with that, I can just only see than that beema makes a big jump or amd is just giving up cpu market at all.
I can?t still belive that its a 1-1 Zacate with double cores after several years unbelivable.

Originally posted by blackiwid View PostI dont think it has something to do with the socket its about the cpu (if I am wrong tell me) the mem-controller is in the cpu/apu so it should be a problem of that.
Anyway, it's not a problem here, since the controller in the 5350 is single channel

I'm not sure why Michael's benchmark show so little difference.

HD Video benchmarks should be for local files
Originally posted by Michael View PostProblem with that is lack of free, well-mirrored content in all the different bitrates, etc. If there is, feel free to add it to PTS and it will then be tested.
A high bitrate HD video should be considered a file useful only for local playback after creating or downloading it. As such, I usually benchmark video by taking a selection of my own videos in various sizes and seeing whether a CPU can play 1080p without stuttering, if not try 720p, etc. They are played from the desktop in most cases. When the CPU is at its limits, closing all browser windows and running only mplayer/mpv really helps!

Originally posted by Michael View PostIt's for local playback but it's a matter of for me to test it needs to meet PTS requirements, which includes reproducibility for tests that can be done by anyone.. Thus needs to be publicly hosted somewhere.
