About the AMD A4-4300M CPU

The AMD A4-4300M is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2012. It is part of AMD's A4 lineup, which is based on the Trinity microarchitecture. The A4-4300M is compatible with AMD Socket FS1r2 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 7420G integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A4-4300M supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A4-4300M has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 96 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 A4-4300M 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 2.5 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.0 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 A4-4300M includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 7420G. 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 A4-4300M has the 677th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 3.66% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD A8-4555M CPU

The AMD A8-4555M is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2012. It is part of AMD's A8 lineup, which is based on the Trinity microarchitecture. The A8-4555M is compatible with AMD Socket FP2 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 7600G integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A8-4555M supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A8-4555M 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 A8-4555M 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 1600.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2.4 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.
