AMD Kabini APU Preview - Combating a Changing Computing Landscape

Handbrake and Cinebench Results

Handbrake 0.9.4 Results

Handbrake is one of the more popular video conversion software and video transcoding is a good indication of a processor’s performance. In this benchmark, we measured the time taken to encode a large video file.

Here, the Trinity A10-4600M managed to complete the transcoding process the quickest, taking 277 seconds. This was followed by the Intel NUC Mini-PC, which took nearly two minutes more. The new Kabini A4-5000 APU was disappointing, taking 8.5 minutes to complete.

 

Cinebench 11.5 Results

We also used Cinebench’s CPU-intensive rendering benchmark to measure the system’s performance. The benchmark disregards the GPU and renders scenes using solely just the CPU’s raw processing power.

Once again, the Trinity A10-4600M APU came out tops with a score of 2.07. Following behind were the two Intel machines, and rounding up the pack were the Kabini reference notebook and Sapphire Edge VS8 with scores of 1.36 and 1.38 respectively. We can see that the Kabini A4-5000 is simply no match for even Intel’s most basic Core i3 processor.
