Well, see what I mean here? The Clovertrail platform just can't hold a candle to the Kabini-based A4-5000 part when it comes to gaming and graphics.

I currently have a Windows 8 desktop system running on an E-350 that I am using as a home server and I’m quite happy with it. These chips are good for laptops, obviously, but can also be well suited, IMO, to low powered home servers. I’m not running a ton of stuff on mine, just some software raid like stuff (drive bender), some offsite backup software, FTP server etc. But there is a market for low powered devices. The challenge when you are using it like I am, primarily as a NAS with a bunch of redundancy on it, is getting enough sata ports, or expansion slots that you can add sata cards into.
I don’t find myself using a
I don’t find myself using a laptop a ton anymore with my tablet, but a cheaper device with this level of performance would be easier to justify, for those times I do want/need more than the tablet.
whats the transistor count ?
whats the transistor count ? and how come the xbox is talking 5 billion transistor count ? on the same-ish technology ? and yet is still based on jaguar cores ? much larger die with ramped up graphics portion and 8 cores ?, or are the PS4 and xbox counting hyper threading cores, as extra cores ? or are they completely different jaguar core apus as yet unseen ? that wont be released to the public ?
xbox1/ps4 have stronger and
xbox1/ps4 have stronger and bigger gpu
