About Hardware AMD C-60

Released in 2011, the AMD C-60 is a power-efficient processor from the Ontario series built on the Bobcat architecture. It has 2 cores and 2 threads, with a base speed of 1.0 GHz that can be increased to 1.33 GHz through Turbo Core technology. Designed specifically for portable devices such as netbooks and ultraportable laptops, the C-60 is focused on power efficiency and long battery life rather than high performance. With a TDP of just 9 watts, this processor enables ultra-thin and lightweight laptop designs without the need for complex active cooling systems. The main advantage of the C-60 is its extremely low power consumption, making it an attractive solution for users who need a lightweight computing device for daily activities with high mobility.

The AMD C-60 is also equipped with an integrated Radeon HD 6290 GPU, which has 80 shader cores and supports DirectX 11. Despite its modest specifications, this GPU is sufficient for multimedia purposes such as HD video playback, light graphics rendering, and old-school games with minimal graphics settings. However, overall, the performance of the AMD C-60 is limited and only suitable for light tasks such as browsing, typing documents, and using basic office applications. This processor will feel slow when used for heavy multitasking, modern software installation, or complex web-based applications. In tests using an Acer Aspire One 522 paired with 2GB DDR3 RAM and Windows 7 operating system, the processor was able to provide a decent user experience for basic needs, but was less responsive when compared to mainstream processors of the same generation. Even so, the AMD C-60 remains a viable solution for low-cost, power-efficient devices of its time.

About Hardware Intel Core 2 Duo E7500

The Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 is a desktop processor released in 2009, based on the Wolfdale architecture, which is part of Intel’s Core 2 Duo family. It features 2 cores and 2 threads, running at a clock speed of 2.93 GHz, and operates with a 1066 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB).

Manufactured using 45nm process technology, the E7500 has a TDP of 65W, which was considered energy-efficient for its time. However, this processor does not support Hyper-Threading or Turbo Boost, meaning its performance is limited to strictly single-threaded and basic dual-threaded applications.

In terms of modern computing standards, the Core 2 Duo E7500 is outdated and performs well below current entry-level processors. Despite this, it can still be useful in legacy systems for light workloads such as basic web browsing, office documents, and 480p–720p video playback, especially when paired with a lightweight operating system.
