Performance numbers will not impress most people
There is a fine line between AM1 and FM2 pricing
Upgrade paths are limited on the CPU side
You could add a discrete GPU down-the-line but would likely be CPU bottlenecked
There was no surprise in our tests. The A4-7300 and the Celeron G3900 are entry CPUs, but they are part of the main families of their manufacturers. The Athlon 5350, on the other hand, is one of the fastest AMD SoC low-power processors, which means it was...

Inexpensive motherboards and processor. Fast enough for 1080p HD video. Low power requirements.
Slow compared to even low-end Intel and AMD mainstream desktop CPUs. Some Intel platforms have even lower power requirements
The AMD Athlon 5350 is a budget processor for PC geeks who prefer to build their own desktops. It's middle-of-the-road in terms of features and performance, but its low price is the main lure....
Abstract: Both Intel and AMD have had entry level options on the market for a while now, but they usually come in form of a processor soldered onto the motherboard. I still have an old Intel Atom mini-ITX motherboard that I used years ago to build a computer that I...

Abstract: While there is a lot of focus on the mainstream desktop market, we hastily reviewed the new entrant to the low-end socketed desktop from AMD, the AM1 Kabini platform back in April. Since then we have acquired all four members of the family, the two quad c...
Abstract: AMD's latest financial reports prove that the company has been shipping less desktop processors with each passing quarter. There's nothing particularly unexpected about this trend. AMD's processor architectures have been developing in such a way as to ...
Processor and supporting motherboards are quite inexpensive, Fast enough for basic tasks, Modest power requirements
Slow compared to even low-end Intel and AMD mainstream desktop CPUs, Power-hungrier than competing Intel platform
If your computing needs and budget are both light, but upgradability matters, the Athlon 5350 is a good CPU/GPU to build a low-cost PC around. Opt for something more powerful, though, if you do anything CPU- or graphics-heavy. ...
Low Priced, HSA Computing Looks Promising, Overall Improved Performance, Great Temperatures, Improved Video Performance, Extremely Low Power Consumption, Low Priced Motherboards, Good for SFF Systems, AMD Fluid Motion Video, Great for Everyday Computing
x4 Speed PCIE bus only, Single Thread Performance Stagnant
What the AM1 platform really has to offer is the ability to put a low cost and low power system just about anywhere. The ability to build a small form factor system for use as an HTPC or as a NAS unit is certainly a possibility, or maybe you want to put...

Abstract: AMD set its sights on desktops in emerging markets last month, announcing its AM1 platform and the first Kabini-based socket APUs. The Kabini architecture arrived last year for ultra-mobile and embedded devices, bringing 28nm chips with TDP ratings as low...

Abstract: The AMD Athlon and Sempron return... sort of! These new Athlon and Sempron parts (codenamed Kabini) are nothing like the ones of days past. These puppies sport an on-chip GPU (Radeon R3, Radeon HD 8400 graphics) making them APUs, AMD's System on Chip (SoC...
