A6-6400B vs SI-42 specifications comparison

The graphs below compare the most important characteristics of the AMD Mobile Sempron SI-42 and A6-6400B microprocessors. These features, along with an IPC (instructions per cycle) number, determine how well a processor performs. The "Operating frequency" chart uses dark color to represent base frequency, while lighter area is for extra frequency, provided by Turbo feature. Darker area on the "On-chip cache" graph is for the On-chip L1 cache. Lighter area is for the L2 cache cache. Although the L2 cache cache is usually larger than the On-chip L1 cache, it is always slower.

CPUIDs

The table below compares support for x86 extensions and technologies, as well as individual instructions and low-level features of the AMD A6-6400B and AMD Mobile Sempron SI-42 microprocessors. Information in this table was retrieved from actual processors using CPUID instruction, and we also utilized internal timer to measure CPU frequency. Be aware that all technologies, disabled in BIOS or by a virtual machine, will be shown as not supported. In rare cases, measured frequency may differ from official specifications.
