Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD A8-3520M, a processor based on the Llano architecture, was a notable choice for notebooks at the time. This mobile processor was manufactured in a 32nm process and aimed to deliver a versatile computing experience. A particularly positive feature was the integrated graphics solution, the AMD Radeon HD 6620G.

It enabled solid graphics performance for media playback and simple games, which was a major advantage back then. With a Level 3 Cache of 4 MB, the AMD A8-3520M supported good data processing and could run applications efficiently. The maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s also contributed to the overall stability of the system.

For everyday tasks such as browsing, word processing, or playing videos, this processor offered a responsive performance. It represented AMD's vision at the time to combine CPU and GPU cores on a single chip. We see it as an early precursor to today's APU concepts. It was a popular option for price-conscious buyers at the time.

They still didn't want to forgo a certain multimedia capability.
