The Acer Aspire AO522 netbook flavored with one of the latest AMD Fusion APU’s the AMD C-50 Ontario was launched just a few days ago but a lot of people still questioned the performance of the C-50. To remedy that netbooknews has put together a review of the new C-50 with the help of the Toshiba NB550D netbook.

After doing the benchmarking for the C-50 APU –a dual-core 1.0 GHz processor with an AMD Radeon 6250 GPU– and the results were quite clear. The C-50 APU beat out the 1.50 GHz Intel Atom N550 + Nvidia ION GPU setup by a fair amount (+388) in 3DMark06, but when the N550 is on had the Intel GMA 3150 GPU the C-50 demolished it by a lot (+1,000) in the same benchmark. However in the same benchmark the 1.0 GHz C-50 couldn’t beat out the 1.66 GHz Intel Atom D510 or 1.83 GHz Intel Atom D525.
