System Properties
The AMD Fusion APU platform uses an AMD E-350 dual core processor, and this is shown below. Also, notice all the other components as well … including the onboard Radeon HD 6310 graphics, slim Blu-Ray rom and the Samsing 250Gb hard drive.
AIDA64 Memory and Chipset
Thanks to 2Gb of DDR3-1066 ram, the Zotac Zbox AD03 BR Plus produced some pretty good results in our ADIA64 memory test. With a read speed of 3255 Mb/sec and a write speed of 3709 Mb/sec.
Using the AIDA64 application which reads the sensor chip, we wanted to see how much heat the unit was producing. Again, we couldn’t get any readings at all. AIDA64 couldn’t read the sensor chip. Yes, we did search for software updates and patches, but none were available … the hardware inside this unit is just too new. LOL! So what what did we do? We measured the temperature the old fashion way … by holding a thermal probe near the vents and taking a reading at full load. We managed to get a respectable load temperature reading of 65 degrees Celsius.
