Low Power War, Round 3: Performance on BOINC

[Dirk Broer]

"The proof of the pudding is in the eating", or as they originally said: "Jt is ywrite that euery thing Hymself sheweth in the tastyng".
Being an AMD User, writing for the AMD Users forum, one could think that I am biased towards a certain brand of CPU/APU/SOC products.
That would not be true however. I like AMD products, but i buy Intel as well when it suits my needs.
The need is for performance at a low price -both in purchase and power consumption.

I will try to generate a table with BOINC applications per project vs. the credit score per core/per day for all quad-core, low-power CPU/APU/SOCs I encounter WUProp data for -provided I do not crash their server with my query's-, starting with the X86/X86-64 platform:

I have as yet no figures for boards fitted with the AMD A4-5000, a 15W tdp quad-core 1500 MHz SOC that is soldered onto the motherboard, like the Bay Trail/Cherry Trail boards.
Nor do I have results yet for the Intel Pentium N3700, Intels next claim to low power fame (6W tdp).
If the sometimes surprising results of the Celeron N2940 and Pentium N3540 -Bay Trail-M notebook CPUs- are anything to go by, we may soon be facing interesting times....and ditto credit levels.
Based upon the above I do now know for sure I will build myself another Athlon 5350 system, but running Ubuntu -as my present AM1 system is now running 64-bit Win10.
