Apple A4 vs AMD A10-6790K

The Apple A4 is a 1 core processor with a clock frequency of 0.80 GHz (1.00 GHz). The processor can compute 1 threads at the same time. The AMD A10-6790K clocks with 4.10 GHz (4.30 GHz), has 4 CPU cores and can calculate 4 threads in parallel.

Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.

Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

Up to GB of memory in a maximum of 1 memory channels is supported by the Apple A4, while the AMD A10-6790K supports a maximum of GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 29.9 GB/s enabled.

The Apple A4 has a TDP of --. The TDP of the AMD A10-6790K is 100 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Apple A4 has 0.51 MB cache and is manufactured in 45 nm. The cache of AMD A10-6790K is at 4.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 32 nm.
