Intel Core 2 Duo SL9400 vs AMD E-240 vs AMD E-300
Intel Core 2 Duo SL9400
► remove from comparison
The Core 2 Duo SL9400 is a power saving low voltage CPU for thin and light laptops. It offers a good performance for the 1.86 GHz clock rate, as it features the full 6 MB level 2 cache of the used Penryn core.
AMD E-240
► remove from comparisonThe AMD E-240 (codename Zacate) is a single core processor for small notebooks and netbooks. It offers a relatively powerful integrated graphics card and a single channel DDR3-1066 memory controller.
Inside the E-240 one Bobcat core (the second one is deactivated) can access 512KB level 2 cache. 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 (AMD V-Series) cores. On average the cpu performance of the E-240 should be between a 2 GHz Atom and a Celeron single core with 1.1 GHz.
The integrated Radeon HD 6310 graphics card offers 80 shaders and an UVD3 video processor. Compared to the slow GMA 3150 in the Atom processors, the HD6310 offers a lot more performance and is about as fast as the Nvidia ION graphics solution.
The power consumption is rated with a TDP of 18 Watt by AMD.
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.
