What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments. So that's our new, modern Commodore 64 build. It’s about the cool factor of having a retro exterior with modern computer brains. The E-350 isn’t about blistering performance, but neither is the C64x. In our experience, it’s far cooler than Intel’s own low-voltage 35-watt dual-core Sandy Bridge chips. At 18 watts for CPU and GPU combined, it really stays cool. The real beauty of the E-350 is its low temps. Where the E-350 in the C64x does well is in 3D performance-its integrated graphics solution has enough power to run older games such as Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare at lower resolutions. The Fusion APU is faster than a dual-core Atom 330, but beefier parts such as Intel’s Core i5-2430M-even with the i5’s low clocks-will leave it in the dust. The E-350’s main weakness is its x86 performance. Kylo Ren's lightsaber from 'The Force Awakens' is surely an unorthodox. Published 9:36 AM ET, Fri December 11, 2015. In our world, though, the E350 is pretty far off the power band as you can see from our tests. Elegant weapons for a more civilized age.

Next to that, the AMD’s E-350 “Brazos” would appear as magic from the gods. The original Commodore 64 packed a 1MHz MOS 6510 processor, which probably has one hundredth of the power of the CPU in your printer.
