About the AMD A10-4600M CPU

The AMD A10-4600M is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2012. It is part of AMD's A10 lineup, which is based on the Trinity microarchitecture. The A10-4600M is compatible with AMD Socket FS1r2 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 7660G integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A10-4600M supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A10-4600M has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 192 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 4 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The A10-4600M features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.3 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.2 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The A10-4600M includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 7660G. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The A10-4600M has the 558th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 7.02% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i3-380M CPU

The Intel Core i3-380M is an end-of-life 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q4 2010. It is part of Intel's Core i3 lineup, which is based on the Arrandale microarchitecture. The i3-380M is compatible with Intel Socket G1 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 32 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Core i3-380M supports DDR3 memory. In terms of cache, the Core i3-380M has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 3 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i3-380M features 2 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.5 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i3-380M does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance

The Core i3-380M has the 577th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 6.47% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
