PassMark PerformanceTest v7
This battery of tests allows you to objectively benchmark a system using a variety of different speed tests and compare the results against other system. We will use this suite to show the performance of the APU versus existing platforms in the low power category and the new Sandy Bridge based 2nd Gen Core i3 CPU.

This suite of benchmarks show the E350 is able to keep pace with Intel’s Atom D525 series and even out perform in many areas of both 2D and 3D graphics. This is due to the direct integration of the Radeon HD 6310 graphics as part of the APU which provides excellent graphics processing and full DirectX 11 support.

The AMD Fusion based motherboard is very capable in terms of DirectX 10 content. Although you will not want to play any hardcore video games such as WOW, less intense games and older games should work just fine. Keep in mind the main objectives of this platform are reasonable speed, high performance graphics, and low power consumption.
3DMark 11
A new incarnation of 3DMark Vantage, 3DMark 11 is for testing DirectX 11 abilities. Again the APU’s 6310 HD Radeon graphics won’t be playing heavy hitting games such as AVP or Dirt 2, but the ability to even suggest DX11 content on such a low power consumption platform is mind blowing.
