About the AMD A4-1250 CPU

The AMD A4-1250 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2013. It is part of AMD's A4 lineup, which is based on the Temash microarchitecture. The A4-1250 is compatible with AMD Socket FT3 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 28 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 8210 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A4-1250 supports DDR3 memory and features a single-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 1 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A4-1250 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 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The A4-1250 features 2 total cores which can process 2 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 1000.0 MHz. 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 A4-1250 includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 8210. 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 A4-1250 has the 713th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 1.64% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Atom Z3740D CPU

The Intel Atom Z3740D is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The Z3740D is compatible with UTFCBGA1380 motherboards and is fabricated on a 22 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Atom Z3740D has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 224 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 0 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Atom Z3740D 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 1330.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 1830.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Atom Z3740D 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 Atom Z3740D has the 685th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 3.42% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
