Hello,
lately I'm testing different mini itx systems (compared to some AM2/AM3 DDR2 configs) like the AMD E-350 with its Radeon HD 6310 iGPU (now in linux later in win). While the iGPU seems ok what instead didn't surprise me at all is the CPU, which I was expecting faster than the old dual Atom while instead in some test I'd say it feels slow (and running at high temperatures too).
So I was wondering if to get more speed from it, some apps might be compiled, in linux I mean manually compile with different compilation flags, to support the SSE4a and those last 3dnow instructions. Which maybe might help into some fpu intensive modern tasks like encoding/decoding.
Thanks
