About the AMD A4-5300 CPU

The AMD A4-5300 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q4 2012. It is part of AMD's A4 lineup, which is based on the Trinity microarchitecture. The A4-5300 is compatible with AMD Socket FM2 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 7480D integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A4-5300 supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A4-5300 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 A4-5300 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 3.4 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.6 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 A4-5300 includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 7480D. 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 A4-5300 has the 621st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.20% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is a 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q1 2023 with a suggested retail price of $329. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 7 lineup, which is based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture. The 7700 is compatible with AMD Socket AM5 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon Graphics integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 7 7700 supports DDR5 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 7700 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. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 32 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 7 7700 features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.8 GHz, and it can boost up to 5.3 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 7 7700 includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon Graphics. 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 Ryzen 7 7700 has the 10th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 83.66% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 30,945 score and $329 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 94.06. This is the 10th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
