A6-3500 Details

Ranked #1724 of 2060 in overall performance, the AMD A6-3500 delivers a modest computational footprint that reflects its age and design priorities. Launched in 2011, this processor is part of AMD's Llano family, built on a 45 nm process and designed for mainstream desktop use. Despite being over a decade old, it remains notable for integrating a capable graphics solution and offering a balance of performance and power efficiency for its time. As of March 2026, it is no longer competitive in modern computing scenarios, but still holds relevance for legacy systems or light office tasks.

The A6-3500 features four cores and four threads, operating at a base frequency of 2.0 GHz with a turbo boost up to 2.3 GHz. It utilizes the Zen+ microarchitecture, though this is a mislabeling—Llano is based on a previous generation of AMD’s architecture, not Zen+. The processor is built on a 45 nm process and contains 1.178 billion transistors, with a die area of 228 mm². It operates on the LGA771 socket and has a TDP of 80 W, which was considered reasonable for its class at launch.

Memory support includes dual-channel DDR3L and LPDDR3 at speeds up to 1866 MT/s, with a maximum memory capacity of 16 GB. The memory bandwidth reaches 29.9 GB/s, while the maximum theoretical bandwidth is 25.6 GB/s. The CPU supports PCIe 2.0 with up to 10 lanes and features a 1333 MHz bus speed. It includes 0.122 MiB of L1 cache and 0.954 MiB of L2 cache per core, with no mention of L3 cache in the provided data.

Integrated into the A6-3500 is the Radeon HD 6530D GPU, based on the HD graphics 4400 core, with a base frequency of 200 MHz and a burst frequency of 950 MHz. It supports up to three displays and includes 2 GB of shared memory. While the GPU lacks modern compute capabilities, it was sufficient for basic multimedia and casual gaming in its era.

The A6-3500 supports a range of instruction sets, including SSE, AVX2, AES, and AMD-V, enabling virtualization and encryption tasks. It also supports features like EIST and HT, although it lacks simultaneous multithreading. The processor’s performance is reflected in its benchmark scores: a single-core score of 4058, a multicore score of 4331, and an overall score of 4167. In comparison, it trails behind modern CPUs such as the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Core Ultra 9 285K, which dominate the top ranks.

In terms of competition, the A6-3500 is outperformed by newer processors like the A8-6410 and Phenom II X3 705e, yet it slightly edges out older models like the Core 2 Duo T6600. Its performance is most comparable to mid-tier CPUs from the early 2010s, placing it in a niche for users maintaining older systems or requiring basic processing power. While not suitable for modern workloads, the A6-3500 remains a testament to AMD’s early efforts in integrating CPU and GPU technologies in a single package.
