AMD E450 benchmarked

AMD E450 is a dual core processor and many are saying that it is the successor of the E350 APU. It runs at 1.65GHz clock speed.



As you can see, the AMD E450 got 2718 in the pc mark vantage benchmark test. In other words, it completely pwned the intel atom processor that you see in every other netbook around you.

Despite that AMD K325 is a little zipper according to the Vantage benchmark. That said, in real life, there is absolutely no difference. Both are equally capable and much more powerful than any Atom processors out there.

We will stick pick AMD K345 over K325 as former has better architecture.


Clearly, the AMD A4 benchmark points are more both K325 as-well K345
