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 Intel Core i3-3220 CPU
The Intel Core i3-3220 is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2012. It is part of Intel's Core i3 lineup, which is based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The i3-3220 is compatible with Intel Socket 1155 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 2500 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Core i3-3220 supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i3-3220 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 i3-3220 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 3.3 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 i3-3220 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 2500. 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
