AMD C-60 vs AMD E-300
AMD C-60
► remove from comparisonThe AMD C-60 (codename Ontario) is a dual core processor for small notebooks and netbooks. It offers a relatively powerful integrated graphics card and a single channel DDR3(L)-1066 memory controller. Compared to the C-50, the C-60 offers the same base clock speed but in addition a short Turbo Core overclocking to 1.33 GHz.
Inside the C-60 two Bobcat cores can access 512KB level 2 cache per core. In comparison to the Atom processors, the Bobcat architecture uses an "out-of-order" execution and is therefore faster at the same clock speed. However, the performance is far worse than similar clocked Penryn (Celeron) or Danube (Athlon II) cores.
The integrated AMD Radeon HD 6290 graphics card offers 80 shaders and an UVD3 video processor. Compared to the slow GMA 3150 in the Atom processors, the HD6290 offers a lot more performance and is about as fast as the Nvidia ION graphics solution. Compared to the HD 6250 in the C-50, the 6290 also offers Turbo Core to overclock to up to 400MHz (same 276MHz base speed).
The processor speed is somewhere between a single core 1.6 GHz Atom N455 and a dual core Atom N550 depending on the benchmark (see below). Therefore, the performance is still in netbook regions and only suited for low demanding tasks.
The power consumption is rated with a TDP of 9 Watt by AMD and therefore a bit higher as the single core Atom CPUs at 1.6 GHz.
AMD E-300
► remove from comparisonThe AMD E-300 (codename Zacate) is a low-end dual-core processor designed for the smaller laptops and netbooks. The E-series processor has a relatively fast iGPU and a single channel DDR3-1066 memory controller.
An E-300 has two Bobcat processor cores running at 1.3 GHz, each with the access to 512 KB of Level 2 cache (1 M in total). In comparison to the Atom processors, the Bobcat architecture uses an out-of-order execution and is therefore faster at the same clock speed.
The Radeon HD 6310 iGPU has 80 unified shaders and an UVD3 video processing engine. The iGPU has no trouble outshining the Intel GMA 3150 in the Atom processors, and it does not lag behind the Nvidia ION, either. The Radeon has support for HDMI 1.4a video output.
Performance
The average E-300 in our database is in the same league as the A4-1250, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned. Which isn't a great result. This is a fairly slow chip, as of mid 2022; expect to see plenty of slowdowns no matter what it is that you are currently doing.
Power consumption
This APU has a default TDP of 18 W, meaning an active cooling solution is a must.
The AMD E-300 is manufactured on a 32 nm process leading to really, really low, as of 2022, energy efficiency.
