The AMD E1-6010 is a mobile dual-core SoC (codenamed "Beema") for entry-level devices and subnotebooks, which has been presented in April 2014. In addition to 2 CPU cores clocked at up to 1.35 GHz (no boost), the 28 nanometer chip also integrates a Radeon R2 GPU, a single-channel DDR3L-1333 memory controller and the Southbridge with various I/O-ports.
Architecture
Both Beema (for notebooks) and Mullins (for tablets and compact subnotebooks, same die) are based on AMD's Puma+ architecture, which is the successor to the previous Jaguar design (Kabini and Temash APUs). Neither the performance per clock nor the feature set (including SSE up to 4.2, AVX and AES) have been modified. However, AMD managed to reduce the leakage current, enabling significantly higher (boost) clock speeds. This leads to a more responsive system and better overall performance. As its predecessor, the chip is manufactured in 28 nm.
Performance
As the E1-6010 offers just two cores at up to 1.35 GHz, the resulting performance is quiet low. Overall, the APU is even slower than the old E1-2500 (1.4 GHz). Only simple workloads like Office, light Internet browsing and multimedia will be handled adequate.
Graphics
The SoC integrates a Radeon R2 GPU with 128 shaders, which is based on the GCN architecture and clocked at up to 350 MHz. On average, we expect the graphics performance to be somewhere between the HD Graphics (Bay Trail) and HD Graphics (Haswell). Current games (as of 2014) are thus hardly playable even in low settings, only a few older and less demanding titels should run fluently.
Power Consumption
The power consumption of the entire SoC is rated at 10 watts. Thus, the APU is suitable for very small subnotebooks.
