AM1 Kabini APU CPUs - HTPC

[sil_el_mot]

Hello everybody!

do anybody know, if the AMD AM1-Kabini APUs , for example the Athlon 5350 , will be fast enough for Dolphin?

I want to buy a cheap and silent htpc and think the kabinis are great for it, so they are very energy-efficient also.
Bluray and small games shall work, but what about dolphin?

I use it mainly for one game: Mario Kart, because this is the only game, my girlfriend
plays together with me :/

thanks for help

It's weak for Dolphin . Even the AMD flagship High-end CPU : FX-8350 @ 5.0GHz (maximum overclock) can't beat low-mid range Intel i3 4130 @ 3.4GHz in Dolphin Benchmark
Mario Kart is a CPU/GPU demanding game
So low-mid range AMD CPUs are out of the question due to low single threaded performance
Just grab a Pentium G3220 + a low profile graphic card
