The A6-5200 is compatible with AMD Socket FT3 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 28 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 8400 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The A6-5200 supports DDR3 memory and features a single-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 1 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A6-5200 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 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The A6-5200 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 2000.0 MHz. 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 A6-5200 includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 8400. 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 A6-5200 has the 616th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.31% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
About the Intel Celeron N2940 CPU
