A Processor comparison of the AMD Sempron 2650, Sempron 3850, Athlon 5150, and Athlon 5150 AM1 FS1b APUs. Benchmarking by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com looking at the AMD APU ubuntu 14.04 Linux performance for the processor and graphics tests. Compared to a Phenom 9500 and Phenom II X3 710.

Dolfyn is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code of modern numerical simulation techniques. The Dolfyn test profile measures the execution time of the bundled computational fluid dynamics demos that are bundled with Dolfyn. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This test searches through the Pfam database of profile hidden markov models. The search finds the domain structure of Drosophila Sevenless protein. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This test runs the ANSI C version of SciMark 2.0, which is a benchmark for scientific and numerical computing developed by programmers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This test is made up of Fast Foruier Transform, Jacobi Successive Over-relaxation, Monte Carlo, Sparse Matrix Multiply, and dense LU matrix factorization benchmarks. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This is a test of C-Ray, a simple raytracer designed to test the floating-point CPU performance. This test is multi-threaded (16 threads per core), will shoot 8 rays per pixel for anti-aliasing, and will generate a 1600 x 1200 image. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Smallpt is a C++ global illumination renderer written in less than 100 lines of code. Global illumination is done via unbiased Monte Carlo path tracing and there is multi-threading support via the OpenMP library. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
