I am looking at making a couple of changes to some of my systems at home, mainly to go to lower power and heat. The first system getting an upgrade will be my unRAID system which needs almost no graphics performance at all aside from me being able to access the BIOS screen. The second system however is running in my MAME (emulation) machine and it needs to be able to handle my front end and obviously the emulation graphics. As a test I would like to have one solution for both builds.
I am looking at the extreme budget end here. The two CPUs that I am debating between are the Intel G540 and the AMD A4-3300. I guess because these are so low end it is hard to find any real meaningful benchmarks. My gut tells me that the A4-3300 will have better graphics performance but I don't know that for sure.
Does anyone have a good feeling for which CPU has the better on board graphics performance? Keep in mind that there is very little (if any) actual 3D graphics capability required here.
