Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD A10-6790K was a remarkable processor for its time. It offered an integrated graphics unit that was perfectly adequate for many applications back then. With the AMD Radeon HD 8670D on the same chip, users could build a system without a separate graphics card. This was a great advantage for price-conscious buyers or compact systems.

The processor was based on the Richland architecture, which was a further development of the Piledriver cores. It was manufactured using the 32-nm process. Its strength lay in the combined performance for everyday tasks. This ranged from office applications to playing HD videos. The integrated graphics solution even made it possible to play some older titles.

Of particular note is the versatility of this APU. The fusion of CPU and GPU on one die was a core concept for AMD. It provided a solid foundation for multimedia PCs. With 4 MB Level 3 Cache, the AMD A10-6790K could process data efficiently. The maximum memory bandwidth was 30 GB/s. Even today, this processor can still serve its purpose in very simple systems.

You shouldn't expect miracles, but it's sufficient for basic tasks.
  • Integrated graphics unit (AMD Radeon HD 8670D)
  • Efficient APU concept (CPU and GPU on one chip)
  • Well-suited for everyday tasks and multimedia PCs
