AMD A9-9420 Benchmark, Test and specs

The AMD A9-9420 has 2 CPU cores and can calculate 2 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the AMD A9-9420 is 3.0 GHz and turbo frequency for one core is 3.6 GHz.

The AMD A9-9420 has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. Specifically, the AMD A9-9420 uses the AMD Radeon R5 - 192 (Stoney Ridge), which has 192 texture shaders and 3 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 15 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 A9-9420 is manufactured using a 28 nm process. A smaller manufacturing process indicates a more contemporary and energy-efficient CPU. In total, this processor boasts a generous 2.0 MB cache. A substantial cache can significantly enhance the processor's performance, particularly in scenarios like gaming.
