Reasons to buy the AMD A6 1450

	Significantly more l2 cache 2 MB		More cores 4
	Lower typical power consumption 6.5W		More l2 cache per core 0.5 MB/core

You need to be below 5W TDP in order to have a fanless system, and Temash based tablets branded as A6 and A4 systems are fanless at the reference clock.
