Description of the processor

The AMD A9-9425 is a 2-core mobile processor of the entry-level class. It lacks the support of Hyper-Threading Technology, which is why it can only process 2 threads at the same time. It belongs to the Stoney-Ridge APU series from AMD, which is just a small refresh of the Carrizo architecture with slightly higher clock frequencies. The processor is still manufactured in 28 nm and can clock its two CPU cores with up to 3.1 GHz. A slightly higher clock frequency of up to 3.7 GHz is possible in single-core load scenarios.

While the direct predecessor (AMD A9-9420, Carrizo) still had to make do with DDR3 RAM, the AMD A9-9425 can now handle DDR4 RAM. Specifically, DDR4-2133 is supported, which is the lowest speed with DDR4 Ram. The AMD A9-9425 only supports one memory channel, which limits the memory bandwidth. A maximum of 8 GB of RAM can be addressed by the processor.

The AMD Radeon 5 (3 execution units and 192 shaders), which runs at 0.8 GHz, is used as the iGPU. This iGPU can for the first time also decode h.265 (HEVC) in hardware and relieves the system enormously when playing videos. The VP9 video codec from YouTube is also supported by the internal graphics card.

The mobile processor can be configured with a TDP of 10 to 25 watts and is accordingly economical. The CPU performance is limited by the 2 cores. Therefore, the processor is only suitable for simple office tasks or for surfing. Both more complex applications and games will only be possible to a very limited extent on the AMD A9-9425.

Due to its low price, the AMD A9-9425 can be found in a variety of notebooks. Simple virtualization functions and AES-Ni encryption acceleration via hardware are supported by the processor.
