A4-1250 Details

Ranking #2043 of 2060 in overall performance, the AMD A4-1250 stands as one of the least powerful processors in the modern benchmarking landscape. Launched in May 2013, this mobile processor is now over a decade old, placing it firmly in the category of legacy hardware. Despite its age, the A4-1250 was designed for low-power devices, particularly in the subnotebook and netbook segment, where energy efficiency and thermal control were prioritized over raw computing power. As of March 2026, the processor's relevance has diminished significantly, with its performance trailing well behind contemporary offerings in both single-core and multi-core workloads.

The A4-1250 is based on AMD's Temash architecture, built on a 32 nm process node and fabricated by GlobalFoundries. It features two physical cores with a base clock speed of 1.86 GHz, capable of reaching a turbo frequency of the same value. Although it lacks simultaneous multithreading, the processor supports a single-threaded execution path and integrates a modest 1 MB of L2 cache. The silicon die measures 246 mm² and operates at a TDP of just 6.5 watts, making it ideal for thin-and-light devices with minimal cooling solutions. It is packaged in a BGA2 configuration and uses the FCBGA559 socket, a common choice for embedded and mobile platforms of its era.

Memory support is limited to DDR3-1333 with a single-channel interface, capping memory bandwidth at 6.4 GB/s. This narrow bandwidth, combined with a maximum memory capacity of 4 GB, further constrains performance in memory-intensive tasks. The processor also supports a range of instruction set extensions, including SSE, AVX, AVX2, and AES-NI, enabling it to handle basic multimedia and encryption workloads. Virtualization support via AMD-V is present, allowing for lightweight virtual machine operations, though the processor's low clock speeds make such use cases impractical for anything beyond testing or legacy environments.

The integrated graphics solution, the Radeon HD 8210, operates at a base frequency of 640 MHz with a burst frequency of 756 MHz. It supports up to two displays and includes hardware decoding for H.264 and VC-1 video formats, enabling basic multimedia playback. While functional for its time, the GPU offers no meaningful acceleration for gaming or modern applications. The processor’s single PCIe 2.0 lane configuration further limits connectivity options, particularly for high-speed peripherals.

In benchmark testing, the A4-1250 scores 3685 overall, with a single-core score of 3325 and a multicore score of 4225. These results place it near the bottom of the performance spectrum, trailing behind several low-end Atom and Celeron processors released in the same era. Notably, its multicore performance exceeds that of the Intel Celeron J3060 and the E1-2100, but its single-core performance lags behind the Atom D2700 and Celeron N2810. This suggests that while the processor may handle simple multi-threaded tasks marginally better than some contemporaries, its single-threaded capabilities are severely limited.

Given its age and performance profile, the A4-1250 is best suited for basic computing tasks such as web browsing, document editing, and media playback on legacy systems. It is not suitable for modern applications, gaming, or content creation. For users seeking a functional device in a constrained power environment, the A4-1250 may still serve as a viable option—though it is no longer competitive in any mainstream computing category.
