Asus E35M1-M PRO Micro ATX
CPU Continued, Memory & Storage Performance

WinRAR
WinRAR's embedded Benchmark focuses on the processor's File Compression capability. During day to day computer usage, file decompession and compression are two very important functions. Let's see how our Atom system performs.
The AMD Dual Core processor may have an edge in single core operation but the Atom's Hyperthreading Technology returns to save the day in this particular instance.
CinebenchR10
Cinebench is a popular image rendering benchmark. Known for it's multithreading ability, this will surely be an interesting means of testing this dual core and hyperthreading capable Atom.
A similar story is depicted in Cinebench, however AMD still retains a win overall.
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.
Memory Bandwidth
The Memory Bandwidth test will closely examine memory transfer rates.
Our experience with embedded systems in general is that memory bandwidth tends to be abysmal, however we found the E350 APU to output a new low with both Integer and Float throughput at less than 2GB/sec.
Hard Disk Performance
You needn't be a sad panda for long as the Hudson M1 chipset helps the AMD platform secure a win with HDD Read performance that matches full fat chipsets such as SB850 and the (ahem, faulty) P67 PCH.
HDTune
We complement our memory and storage subsystem tests with a read test using HDTune. Hopefully the results correspond with SiSoft Sandra.
Indeed they do, as they show the Hudson M1's ability to keep one of today's Hard Disk Drives running at their optimum pace.

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 ?
