AMD A8-3500M
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD A8-3500M was a groundbreaking mobile processor. It came from the era of APUs and was based on the innovative Llano architecture. This chip, an Accelerated Processing Unit (APU), combined computing cores with a powerful graphics unit. This was a major advantage for notebooks at the time.

Of particular note is the AMD Radeon HD 6620G graphics integrated into the chip. It allowed laptops a solid multimedia experience, even without a dedicated graphics card. You could easily surf the internet or do office work with it. Even watching high-resolution movies was easily possible. Even less demanding games ran surprisingly smoothly.

The 32-nanometer manufacturing process ensured solid performance and efficient operation. With its 4 MB Level 3 Cache, the processor managed data quickly. The AMD A8-3500M was a popular choice for mainstream laptops. There it offered a balanced mix of computing power and graphics performance.

This processor marked an important step in mobile hardware development. It impressively demonstrated the potential of integrated solutions.
  • Integrated AMD Radeon HD 6620G graphics
  • APU concept (CPU and GPU on one chip)
  • Solid performance for everyday tasks
  • Efficient manufacturing (32 nm)
