ECS KBN-I + AMD E1-2100 "Kabini" APU
In the computational tests, the AMD E1-2100 Kabini APU usually comes ahead of the Atom Z530, Tegra 2, and quad-core i.MX6 with the comparison devices.
More of these early benchmark results and other system information on the test systems can be found via the 1402175-PL-KABINI53449 result file on OpenBenchmarking.org
In the days ahead will be more proper benchmarks of the ECS KBN-I/2100, including the examination of the Radeon HD 8210 Graphics performance with the open and closed-source Linux graphics drivers, performance-per-Watt measurements, and other Linux tests from this passively-cooled mini-ITX solution that can be found for just over $30 USD if you're lucky otherwise it's $60~80 USD. There will also be x86 tests from different AMD APU solutions from matching software configurations.
At just over $30 USD, the performance is already showing to be quite good out of this dual-core AMD Kabini APU system and it's a hell of a bargain. If you have any requests for future AMD Kabini Linux tests, let us know via Phoronix on the various social networks or via our forums. I had purchased this dual-core Kabini system over finding it at an incredible bargain and knowing other Linux users would likely be curious too about the performance, so if these kind of articles interest you, please consider subscribing to Phoronix Premium for helping out the site and making future hardware purchases.
