How fast AMD E-1800 Accelerated Processor?

The E2-1800 is a very low end APU and is equivalent to the Intel Atoms CPU's. I've seen and talked to people with these APU's in their laptops and most were disappointed in the performance. The main complaint is that it was just to slow even for basic work.

It's not that bad of a CPU, but AMD should've given it more grunt. A Piledriver version would be a very good low-end CPU.

Thanks for your advice!

The E-1800 is high-end for a netbook, middle-range for a laptop and low-end for a gaming desktop. This is not a matter of opionon so much as an industry convention.

Comparing it with a similar Intel part is difficult because Intels HD EUs seem to load the CPU more than AMD's graphics cores do.

What counts more than anything else is how well it will run the desired software and there is no accurate theoretical substitute for this.
