AMD Athlon 5350 APU and AM1 Platform Review

Earlier this month AMD released the low cost AM1 platform that they believe will succeed in the low cost general everyday use and office markets. To do well in this very competitive market AMD will need an affordable platform that has enough performance to get the daily tasks done. The AMD Kabini APU's range in price from $31 to $55 and the mini-ITX and micro-ATX AM1 motherboards with the FS1b socket range between $25 - $35. That means you could be looking at a fully integrated desktop platform for less than $60! Does AMD have your attention now? Read on to see how this platform performs.

$35 USD shipped or about 2,715.12 BDT if you are still located in Bangladesh. What are your thoughts on the overall platform?

yeah it should, if someone can import that here.

I've read the whole article and I agree with the fact that at this price it is really a good thing.one can easily do everyday work, entertainment, programming on c/cpp, yes it will be really helpful. although a cheap mini-iTX board would be awesome. I will wait for some of those.

Wow if you already have a case and PSU laying around the system won't cost much more than the Windows OpSys to run it. Get Linux support and this is a no-brainer for basic computing and HTPC
I have come to the conclusion that "FaceBook" should be renamed "FacePalm" :roll:
