AMD A8-6500T Benchmark, Test and specs

The AMD A8-6500T has 4 CPU cores and can calculate 4 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the AMD A8-6500T is 2.1 GHz and turbo frequency for one core is 3.1 GHz.

The AMD A8-6500T has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. Specifically, the AMD A8-6500T uses the AMD Radeon HD 8550D, which has 256 texture shaders and 4 execution units. The iGPU uses the system's main memory as graphics memory and sits on the processor's die.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

The processor has a thermal design power (TDP) of 45 W watts. TDP indicates the cooling solution needed to effectively manage the processor's heat. It generally provides an approximate indication of the actual power consumption of the CPU itself.

The AMD A8-6500T is manufactured using a 32 nm process. A smaller manufacturing process indicates a more contemporary and energy-efficient CPU. In total, this processor boasts a generous 4.0 MB cache. A substantial cache can significantly enhance the processor's performance, particularly in scenarios like gaming.
