Intel Atom N2800 vs AMD E1-1500 vs AMD E-240
Intel Atom N2800
► remove from comparisonThe Intel Atom N2800 is a dual core entry level processor for netbooks and tablets. It was officially announced in December 2011 and is produced in 32nm.
It features a PowerVR SGX545 based graphics card (at 640MHz) named Graphics Media Accelerator 3650 and a video decoding engine for MPEG4 Part2, VC-1, WMV9, and H.264. Furthermore, the chip now also supports DisplayPort 1.1 and HDMI 1.3a outputs.
The processor core is still similar to older Atom processors. Therefore the performance of the N2800 is comparable to an older Atom D525.
The integrated 64Bit Single-Channel DDR3-800/1067 memory controller supports two SODIMMS and a maximum of 4 GB RAM.
AMD E1-1500
► remove from comparisonThe AMD E1-1500 (codename Zacate) is a dual core processor for small notebooks and netbooks. It offers a relatively powerful integrated graphics card and a single channel DDR3-1333 memory controller. Compared to the old E1-1200, which is based on the same chip, the E1-1500 offers an 80 MHz higher CPU and 29 MHz higher GPU clock rate.
Inside the E1-1500 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. On average the cpu performance of the E1-1500 is a bit below an Athlon X2 L310 at 1.2 GHz.
The integrated Radeon HD 7310 graphics card offers 80 shaders and an UVD3 video processor. Compared to the slow GMA 3150 in the Atom processors, the HD7310 offers a lot more performance and is about as fast as the Nvidia ION graphics solution. In the E1-1500 the 7310 is clocked at 529 MHz and therefore not much different to the HD 6310 (488 - 500 MHz depending on the APU).
The power consumption is rated with a TDP of 18 W by AMD. That's similar to Intels (faster) Ivy and Sandy Bridge ULV-CPUs.
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.
