A6-3400M vs A8-3520M specifications comparison

The graphs below demonstrate the difference between A8-3520M and A6-3400M most important characteristics. These features, as well as an IPC (instructions per cycle) number, determine how well a microprocessor performs. The "Operating frequency" graph uses dark color to represent base frequency, while lighter area is for additional 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.

The table below compares support for x86 extensions and technologies, as well as individual instructions and low-level features of the AMD A6-3400M and AMD A8-3520M 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.
