Description of the processor

The AMD A4-6300 is a desktop/server processor with 2 cores and 2 threads, based on the third generation of the AMD A series and it comes from the AMD A4-6000 CPU group. The processor uses an FM2 socket on its motherboard and was released in the second quarter of 2013 with an opening price of $45.

The AMD A4-6300 does not support hyperthreading and cannot be overclocked either. The base clock frequency of the processor is 3.70 GHz, the turbo clock frequency with one core is 3.90 GHz, the same as with 2 cores.

The AMD A4-6300 has an integrated graphics (iGPU) called AMD Radeon HD 8370D, with a clock frequency of 760 MHz. The integrated graphics has 2 execution units, 128 shaders and a maximum memory of 2 GB. It comes from the 5th generation and supports DirectX 11.2. It was manufactured with 32 nm with a Richland (Piledriver) architecture and was released in the second quarter of 2013. The AMD A4-6300 can decode h264, AVC, VC-1 and decode and encode JPEG.

The processors memory type is DDR3-1866 with two memory channels, among other things, it also supports AES-NI encryption. The TDP (Thermal Design Power) value is 65 W. The processors L3 cache is 1.00 MB. The full x86-64 instruction set (ISA) is supported, so the processor is fully 64-bit capable, and it also has the extensions SSE4a, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, FMA3, FMA4.

In the Geekbench 5 (64-bit, single-core) test, the AMD A4-6300 achieved a total of 449 points and is only slightly below the Intel Pentium E6700 processor with these points. In the Geekbench 5 (64-bit, multi-core) test, it achieved 703 points and is below the Intel Pentium N3530 with these points, but above the Intel Celeron J1900. The theoretical computing power of the internal graphics unit (simple accuracy GFLOPS 32 bit) is 195 GigaFlops and thus only slightly below the Intel Celeron N6211.
