Time and again, After Effects demonstrates a sensitivity to available memory, particularly as core count increases. In this case, the quad-core Kabini-based A4 turns in the last-place finishing time, a ways behind the Pentium and Core i3.

Hyper-Threading again propels the Core i3-3217U into a first-place finish in this very well-threaded workload. The dual-core Pentium achieves its second-place result through more aggressive clock rates. Even with four physical cores, though, the 1.5 GHz A4-5000 just can't keep up.

What was the Texture Filtering (AMD) set at? If it is at quality, no wonder it is chugging. If it's at performance...Ergh.
Also, what happens when RadeonPro and it's performance tweaks are thrown in? Would setting the mip-maps to performance help at all?
What about the few optimization settings?

2nd: the gpu clocks of kabini are standard while intels are variable (favors intel, innacurate results)
3rd: kabini's gpu is probably bottlenecked by ram speed?
