Why didn't AM1 take off?

This is like, the perfect embedded and/or normie machine cpu.
what's wrong with it
what key thing am I missing
or did intel fuck AMD over yet again?

>idles at 15c
This is impossible
>>58499455
It's essentially a weak first gen core2duo
People have apparently bought it, I have no idea why.
>>58499498
>weak
Its better than a LOT of laptop CPUs. But yet I still see grandpa using a fucking i3 or i5 to check his email and play solitaire.
Yes its weak and thats the point, it also doesnt use hardly any power as a desktop cpu
It was garbage.
>>58499758
Pajeet please, I already have a core2 box in my closet, no one wants that old shit
>>58499494
No it's not, I had an FM2 at 15-20C.
>>58499455
Same performance with twice the cores is not something to brag about
>>58499455
>>58499834
>idles at 15c
Why are you bragging about how inaccurate the temp sensor is?
>>58499864
'ok'
>>58499834
The temperature isn't being read correctly, unless your room was at -10 degrees celsius
The cpu temp can't be under cooler than ambient temperature, if you're using air cooling
>>58499841
it is when it's 1/4th the power consumption. Dumbass
>>58499885
>10 years later
Thanks amd
>>58499498
Supports ECC mem, you can make a NAS box with it for cheap
>>58499455
>air cooling below room temperature
Has AMD managed to defy defy the laws of science?
>>58499885
Can't wait to save $0.03 on my energy bill this year!
>>58499953
Find me a board with ecc support
AM1 is garbage
Apollo Lake destroys it in performance and feature with 8K HEVC Main10 hardware decoding & 4K VP9 hardware decoding, which AM1 can't support at all
>>58499984
ASUS AM1M-A. Specification on website says it doesn't support ECC but they updated manual because it indeed supports unbuffered ECC as people on enthusiast forums found out.

>>58499984
You can force ECC support on AMD CPUs in the Linux kernel.
I use a 5350 with the Asus AM1M-A and it's good, I can play most games around 30 fps.
I need a strong graphics card, though.

>can play most games around 30 fps
What's good about this? Thing's weaker than some tablet SoCs.
>>58501021
Stability, Never had any problems with this combo. It was originally meant to be a htpc for a client but now I use it to stream movies and run emulators.
>>58501335
What do you emulate?
>>58500286
brilliant
>>58499813
like core2 solo or core2 duo?
>>58499455
Most of the motherboards were pure shit. ASCock produced by far the best cheap one.
>>58500069
And was also released years after the AM1 platform, your point?
>>58499873
you cant go lower than your ambient temp, fucktard
>>58501467
you forgot core2quad
>>58499873
15 celsius is 59 fahrenheit. And it's impossible for any cooler (air or liquid) to get a CPU below room temperature. So either you live in a Chinese prison, or your temp sensor is fucked.
