Some Low-Power Platforms Tested

Conclusion

Celeron J1900 fitted nicely between A4-5000 and Athlon 5350 in CPU performance. With a lower power consumption, it had the potential to become a very good file server or HTPC platform. When comparing A4-5000 and Athlon 5350, Athlon 5350 stood out as the better one as the APU could be “upgraded”. The CPU and graphics performance were also substantially better with a price difference of only about US$20. The active cooling of Athlon 5350 was also less problematic for tiny itx enclosures.
