CPU Performance
SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility capable of benchmarking the performance of individual components inside a PC.
CPU Arithmetic
The CPU arithmetic test ascertains the processor's capabilities in terms of numerical operations. Two subtests named Dhrystone and Whetstone are carried out respectively. This is not a measure of latency and thus higher is better.
First benchmark in, the CPU Arithmetic test secures the AMD platform a rather clear victory. Is this a clear sign of things to come?
CPU Multimedia
The CPU Multimedia Test focuses on CPU based operations that may occur during multimedia based tasks. The magnitude of the score depends on the processor's ability to handle Integer, Float and Double data types
Ahem, the plot thickens as the tables turn in a big way. Clearly the Brazos APU loses out in the aforementioned multimedia instructions.
AIDA Extreme Edition
Returning to its roots by re-estabilishing the AIDA name, the latest iteration of the popular benchmark suite now includes optimisations over previous editions. With this in mind, remember not to compare these results against those conducted with older Everest software.
CPU Queen
CPU Queen is all about branch prediction and the penalties that, well "misprediction" can bring.
The Atom D510 wins again, with a fair margin. This is really not what we expected. That said, it is not unreasonable to expect the CPU Queen test to follow a similar trend to SiSoft Sandra's Multimedia benchmark.
CPU Photoworxx
PhotoWorxx as the name may suggest tests processors by means of invoking functions that are common to Photo Manipulation including Fill, Flip, Crop, Rotate, Difference and Colour to B&W conversion.
The E350 flexes its muscles with quasi photoshop operations. Neither platform are ideal for this but it is a clear win regardless.
CPU ZLib
This is an integer based benchmark that will test the CPU and Memory by means of the CPU ZLib compression library.
Wrapping up our AIDA64 benchmarks, the AMD E350 strikes back yet again. Next we will cover WinRAR and Cinebench performance followed by tests pertaining to the E35M1-M PRO's Memory and Southbridge subsystems.

As the new HD 6310 GPU supports UVD 3.0, this means that DivX decoding is now included (on top of the existing MPEG2/H.264) and also Blu-Ray 3D support. However neither Asus or AMD have clearly stated that the HD 6310 will decode 3D well. I suppose this will become more clear as time goes on however my initial impressions are that a HTPC for higher end functionality such as 3D support or anything else that may command some more CPU horse power is probably better off with a conventional CPU and dedicated GPU.
I hope that helps

Pros: you'll have the coolest running 18W CPU on the block. WooHoo! Bragging rights.
Cons: You'll probably need to work on the mount - I don't see the usual AM3 hardware on that board. And do you figure £150 or more on a full-tower case to accommodate the Noctua is about right for a rig like this? An HAF-X or a Lanboy Air would be quite stylish.

Looks like it includes WiFi plus blue-tooth 3.0. Anyway, just look at the specs on this little monster. The feature set is extremely impressive for a Mini ITX board. I think this would make a sweet little pc that you could mount to the back of a monitor for a clutter and noise free desk. Definitely good for email, web browsing, word, netflix and watching movies.
So as Mul suggested probably wait for a more powerful AMD Fusion APU, and than bolt on a nice HTPC soundcard and PROFITS!
it doubled. so my question is using a discrete vga does indeed improves cpu perfomanse?? so a few more test with winzip and other cpu programs to see if with a discrete vga they will improve. if they improve then it will be interesting :-)

But for a normal CPU, unless you a running nVidia with Physx I doubt it.
Loving these little options myself.

There was an error with this graph; CPU score should read 1954, not 954. This has now been edited, apologies if this has caused any confusion.

Another question would the new form factor have any complications in fitting into a standard ATX case?
Thanks

The only reason I would take this over the E35M1-M mini ATX board is that I need 2 PCIE slots for my Happauge Win Tv tuner cards, unless someone could tell me a great way of getting dual NTSC signals into one card ?
