AMD A9-9425
The A9-9425 is a 2 core CPU from AMD. This chip has a bad overall score with 698 points in our CPU benchmark. Our gaming benchmark shows that this CPU is an average processor for gaming, with a score of 1534 points. As for multitasking and heavy workloads, the A9-9425 scores 500 points and 484 points respectively. Indeed, this is a bad rating for very heavy workloads.
The A9-9425 has 2 cores and 2 threads. This chip has no simultaneous multithreading support, as it has the same number of cores as threads. This AMD CPU has a clock speed of 3.1 GHz and a turbo speed of 3.7 GHz : a higher clock speed that can be reached when thermals and power delivery allow. This CPU has a locked multiplier, so you are not able to overclock it beyond this frequency.
As for memory, the A9-9425 makes use of DDR4 memory. The faster the memory, the better. Faster memory means that the CPU doesn't have to wait to get the data it needs. Furthermore, this chip can handle up to 1 channels of RAM, a multichannel memory architecture allows for higher data transfer between the CPU and the memory. However, to take advantage of this, you must have enough memory slots filled.
In terms of cache, the A9-9425 has 1 MiB of level 2 cache. This is a fast memory located close to the processor, which stores copies of frequently used data from main memory.
This CPU has fast connectivity with support for PCI-Express Gen 3. The faster the PCIe link, the better. This allows for better performance with GPUs and NVME SSDs.
Power and thermals for the AMD A9-9425 CPU are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 15 watts. This measures the amount of heat the processor produces when running at full load. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
