AMD Athlon 5350 / 5150 & Sempron 3850 / 2650

From this article you are able to see how these four AMD APUs compare from low-end to high-end, which is just a spread of about $25 USD with the hardware's current pricing. For those wanting to see how the performance roughly correlates to other AMD and Intel hardware, there's the original Athlon 5350 Linux review but more benchmarks are coming in the days. Among the other tests still being done are RadeonSI vs. Catalyst, additional APU/CPU comparisons, the aforementioned AM1 overclocking, Linux 3.15 kernel testing, testing of a Gigabyte AM1 motherboard, discrete GPU testing with these socketed Kabini systems, Linux distribution comparison, and other open-source performance tests. If you have other test requests let us know via the forums or Twitter while first priority is given to Phoronix Premium subscribers for those that support this timely and costly Linux hardware testing.

On the following pages are the Phoronix Test Suite results for the Athlon 5150/5350 and Sempron 2650/3850 followed by the APU temperatures and power data. If you wish to see how your own Linux system compares against all of these benchmarks, it's as simple as installing the Phoronix Test Suite on your distribution followed by running phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1404132-KH-ATHLONSEM89 for the full onslaught of many GPU and GPU benchmarks. Alternatively, a smaller selection of tests used during the thermal/power monitoring can be tested against by running phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1404130-KH-AMDAM1SEN46. This will automatically download all of the tests, configure/install the tests in the same manner as we used, and proceed to benchmark the system in a fully-automated manner followed by merging the results side-by-side so you can analyze how your own hardware compares.
