About the AMD A4-3305M CPU

The AMD A4-3305M is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2011. It is part of AMD's A4 lineup, which is based on the Llano microarchitecture. The A4-3305M is compatible with AMD Socket FS1 motherboards and is fabricated on a 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 6480G integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A4-3305M supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A4-3305M has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The A4-3305M 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 1900.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2.5 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 A4-3305M includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 6480G. 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 A4-3305M has the 680th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 3.62% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i7-3610QM CPU

The Intel Core i7-3610QM is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2012 with a suggested retail price of $378. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The i7-3610QM is compatible with Intel Socket G2 (988B) motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-3610QM supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-3610QM 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 6 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-3610QM features 4 total cores which can process 8 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 3.3 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 Core i7-3610QM includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 4000. 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 & Value

The Core i7-3610QM has the 325th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 20.77% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 7,684 score and $378 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 20.33. This is the 158th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
