Our productivity-oriented tasks also present single- and multi-threaded workloads, all of which are fairly common on an average desktop system. The benchmarks we run on this page include printing a PowerPoint presentation to PDF, optical character recognition on a scanned document, and photo editing.


Again, the Athlon 5350 bests Intel's Celeron J1900 by somewhere between 5-15%. It does appear that Silvermont trails by less in more heavily-threaded jobs, while the single-threaded measurements yield a larger win for AMD.

There are two components to this test. The red line reflects a series of threaded filters that fully utilize the host processor. Intel's Celeron takes the win there. The other leverages completely different OpenCL-accelerated filters, which AMD's on-board graphics engine tears through.

It's just convenience and cost efficiency, really, on the one hand, you've got 1 motherboard, CPU, tower, PSU, OS and IP adress for remote control and 8 HDDs and on the other, you've still got 8 HDDS, but 2 of everything else. Power consumption wouldn't make THAT much of a difference, since storage servers mostly idle, but the noise and size do take their toll.

I think the 1920x1080 and 1600x900 graph for Dota 2 are the wrong way round? And it would be good to also have had a graph for its performance with dedicated GPU.
I think the problem is the PSU. Using 850W XFX is total overkill and even being certified as gold class, it has high efficiency at 20% load, which is 170 W. Therefore the PSU is used in non-efficient area and can simply add 15 - 20 W extra to the final power consumption.
Next time maybe borrow PicoPSU and some efficient brick.
