AMD A12-9800
Benchmarks & Specs

The AMD A12-9800, an APU processor from AMD, is based on the Excavator architecture. It was manufactured using the 28nm process. At the time, this chip was a solid solution for many computer applications. Of particular note is its integrated graphics unit, the AMD Radeon R7 - 512. It offered genuinely good performance for everyday tasks.

Some older games ran smoothly on it without a separate graphics card. This made it a cost-effective all-in-one choice for building a system. We were surprised at how practical it proved to be for office work. Media playback was also quite possible with it. With 2 MB of Level 2 cache, it supported the CPU cores.

A maximum memory bandwidth of 38 GB/s helped the integrated graphics. The PCIe 3.0 connection was quite standard for its time. Although no longer the latest, the AMD A12-9800 can still be useful for simple requirements. It delivered practical performance for the standard user of the time.
