About the AMD A4-7210 CPU

The AMD A4-7210 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The A4-7210 is compatible with Socket FP4 (968) motherboards and is fabricated on a 28 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon R3 Graphics integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the A4-7210 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 256 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The A4-7210 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 1800.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2200.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The A4-7210 includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon R3 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

The A4-7210 has the 624th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.10% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD A8-5550M CPU

The AMD A8-5550M is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2013. It is part of AMD's A8 lineup, which is based on the Richland microarchitecture. The A8-5550M is compatible with AMD Socket FS1r2 motherboards and is fabricated on a 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 8550G integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The A8-5550M supports DDR3 memory. In terms of cache, the A8-5550M 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 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The A8-5550M 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 2.1 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.1 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 A8-5550M includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 8550G. 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 A8-5550M has the 569th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 6.77% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
