About AMD E1-2100
The AMD E1-2100 is a 2-core, 2-thread mobile processor from AMD, built on the Jaguar architecture with the codename Kabini. It is manufactured on GlobalFoundries' 28 nm process, fits AMD Socket FT3, and has a 1000.00 MHz base clock with no boost clock listed. The integrated graphics are Radeon HD 8210, the TDP is 9 W, and the market segment is Mobile. The benchmark table in the fact pack is empty, with an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile rank of 50 versus all CPUs.
Benchmark Performance
The performance section is defined by missing data. The benchmarks array contains no entries, and the nearestRivals field is empty. That means there are no workload scores, no rival names, no rival scores, and no percentage deltas to report. The only numeric values attached to performance in the fact pack are the average benchmark score of 0 and the percentile of 50.
Because there are no stored benchmark runs, the average score of 0 is not a measured performance result. It is a record value that appears alongside an empty benchmark list. Similarly, the 50th percentile versus all CPUs places the E1-2100 at the midpoint of the database distribution, but this percentile is not supported by any individual benchmark scores. It cannot be used to claim that the processor performs at the level of half of all CPUs, because no comparison runs are present.
Without nearestRivals entries, no exact percentage lead or deficit can be quoted. The data does not name a single competitor, so statements such as "ahead of X" or "behind X" are unsupported. The only relative signal is the comprehensive 50th percentile, which is a neutral midpoint rather than a pairwise comparison.
The absence of benchmark data also affects what can be said about real workloads. The 1000.00 MHz base clock and 2-thread layout suggest a modest part, but that is an inference from specifications, not a benchmark outcome. Any performance page that relies exclusively on this fact pack must therefore state that no measured performance conclusions are available. The 50th percentile is the lowest-information ranking possible: it says only that the processor sits in the middle of the database's CPU list according to the stored percentile field, with no corroborating scores.
Power and Thermals
The power and thermal profile is anchored by a single specification: a 9 W TDP. This is the only thermal or power figure in the fact pack. There are no additional wattage numbers, no cooler listings, and no power draw measurements. A 9 W TDP places the E1-2100 in a low-power class, which is consistent with the Mobile market segment.
The cooling tier implied by 9 W is modest. A component with a 1000.00 MHz base clock, no boost clock, and two cores does not require a large or aggressive cooler. The fact pack does not specify a cooler type or size, but the thermal envelope associated with 9 W is small enough for low-profile mobile cooling. No heatsink dimensions appear in the data, so any cooling recommendation must remain qualitative.
The 28 nm process node from GlobalFoundries and the 107 mm² die size are also present in the fact pack. These manufacturing details describe the physical implementation, though they do not directly define thermals. The integrated Radeon HD 8210 graphics core is part of the same component, but no separate GPU TDP is listed. Similarly, no graphics clock is provided. The data therefore treats the 9 W TDP as the single thermal target for the whole package.
Because the product is marked End-of-life, new thermal validation is unlikely to be relevant. For existing Socket FT3 mobile systems, the 9 W TDP remains the reference point. The cooling requirement is tied to that 9 W figure, and the fixed 1000.00 MHz base clock means there is no boost state that could temporarily raise thermal load above the base operating condition.
Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior
The E1-2100 has 2 cores and 2 threads. Because the thread count equals the core count, there is no simultaneous multithreading in the dataset; each core runs one thread. The base clock is 1000.00 MHz, and the boost clock field is null, so the dataset records only one operating frequency. There is no higher frequency tier available for single-thread work.
For single-thread workloads, the relevant facts are the 1000.00 MHz base clock and the 64 KB L1 cache per core. Each core has its own L1, while the 1 MB L2 is shared between the two cores. No L3 cache is listed. A single-threaded task can use one core and, in the best case, data held in that core's L1. There is no boost clock to accelerate a single-threaded burst.
For multi-thread workloads, two threads can run concurrently, one per core. The shared 1 MB L2 means both cores draw on the same L2 pool. Memory support is DDR3 over a single-channel bus, with a listed memory bandwidth of 10.7 GB/s. That bandwidth figure is the total for the memory interface, and the single-channel bus is the only memory bus described in the fact pack.
The practical split is therefore simple: single-thread performance is tied to one 1000.00 MHz core, while multi-thread performance can at most use two 1000.00 MHz cores. The shared L2 helps with data reused across cores, but the overall ceiling is set by two threads on a modest memory path. The 10.7 GB/s bandwidth is the only memory throughput number in the pack, and it applies regardless of whether one or two cores are active.

Who Should Consider It
Because there are no benchmark scores, workload recommendations cannot be based on measured frame rates, render times, or office application results. Instead, the feature set must guide any recommendation. The E1-2100 is a Mobile part with a 9 W TDP, 2 cores, 2 threads, a 1000.00 MHz base clock, no boost clock, and integrated Radeon HD 8210 graphics.
For gaming, the only graphics-related fact is the integrated Radeon HD 8210. No gaming benchmarks appear in the fact pack, so no level of gaming performance can be stated. The two-core, two-thread design and the absence of a boost clock provide little headroom for CPU-heavy game logic. A user selecting this part for gaming would be doing so without any benchmark support.
For content creation, the data is similarly limited. There are only 2 threads, no boost clock, and a single-channel memory bus with 10.7 GB/s of bandwidth. Workloads that scale across threads or require sustained memory throughput would be constrained by these listed specifications. The shared 1 MB L2 is the only cache level shared between cores, and no L3 cache is present.
For light office or basic mobile use, the low 9 W TDP and the Mobile market segment are the relevant facts. The integrated Radeon HD 8210 means a separate graphics card is not required, which fits a low-power mobile system. Even office performance is unverified by benchmark data, but the feature list is at least consistent with basic computing. The 1000.00 MHz base clock and two threads suggest a modest productivity experience.
The E1-2100 may be worth considering for users who need an AMD Socket FT3 mobile processor with integrated graphics, ECC memory support, and a 9 W thermal envelope, and who do not require benchmark-verified performance. The End-of-life production status means it is not a forward-looking choice for new designs. For an existing FT3 platform, the data shows a low-power, 2-thread processor with a fixed 1000.00 MHz clock.
Platform and Compatibility
The platform is built around AMD Socket FT3. The processor uses the Jaguar architecture with the codename Kabini, and the generation field is labeled E1 (Kabini). It is manufactured on a 28 nm process from GlobalFoundries, with a die size of 107 mm². The series field is null, so the fact pack does not assign it to a broader series beyond the generation label.
Memory support is DDR3 over a single-channel bus. The listed memory bandwidth is 10.7 GB/s, and ECC memory support is enabled. The cache layout is 64 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of shared L2. No L3 cache is listed, and the vCache field is null. The transistor count is also not listed in the fact pack.
PCIe support is PCIe Gen 2 with 8 lanes, and those lanes are described as CPU-only. This means the processor itself provides 8 PCIe lanes; no additional lane counts from other components are listed. There is no PCIe generation beyond Gen 2 in the data, and no lane width above 8 is present. The integrated graphics are Radeon HD 8210, so the platform does not require a separate GPU for basic graphics.
The release date is 2013-05-22, and the production status is End-of-life. The multiplierUnlocked field is false, so overclocking through the multiplier is not available. The part number is EM2100ICJ23HM. For upgrade path, the data lists no other processors for AMD Socket FT3, so no direct upgrade chip can be named from this dataset. The End-of-life status and the socket restriction together mean compatibility is confined to existing FT3 mobile platforms.
