Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD GX-420CA is an APU specifically designed for compact and energy-efficient systems. Based on the Jaguar architecture, also known under the code name Temash, this processor offered a well-thought-out integrated solution. Manufactured in the 28 nm process, it was characterized by good energy efficiency.

A major advantage was the integrated AMD Radeon HD 8400 graphics unit. This delivered considerable graphics performance for its class, going beyond pure CPU functions. With 2 MB of Level 2 cache, the AMD GX-420CA ensured fast data access. The maximum memory bandwidth of 13 GB/s contributed to the overall performance.

We see the AMD GX-420CA as a reliable choice for thin clients or industrial controls. There, robustness and an all-in-one solution are crucial for slim system designs. This processor embodies AMD's focus on integrated performance for flexible platforms. It is still an option for specific embedded applications.

  • Integrated AMD Radeon HD 8400 graphics
  • High energy efficiency via 28 nm manufacturing
  • Ideal for compact and embedded systems
