A6-5357M Details

The AMD A6-5357M, released in June 2013, stands as a mobile processor from the Richland generation, designed for budget-friendly laptops requiring basic performance with integrated graphics. While its 2.9 GHz base clock and 3.5 GHz turbo frequency offer reasonable responsiveness for light productivity and multimedia tasks, the processor is now well over a decade old, making it significantly outdated by today’s standards. As of March 2026, its benchmark scores reflect its age, with an Overall Score of 4291 placing it at #1537 out of 2060 processors, and a Singlecore Score of 4273 ranking it #1513. The Multicore Score of 4319 positions it at #1693, indicating it performs slightly better in multi-threaded workloads than single-threaded ones, though still far behind modern CPUs.

Built on a 32 nm process and featuring a 35 W TDP, the A6-5357M is a low-power device with a compact 246 mm² die and 1.178 billion transistors. It includes two cores and two threads, with no Simultaneous Multithreading support, and operates with 512 KB of L2 cache per core, totaling 1 MiB of L2 cache. It supports dual-channel DDR3 memory, though it lacks ECC memory support and a locked clock multiplier, which limits overclocking potential. The processor uses the Socket FP2 interface, making it compatible with a narrow range of older mobile motherboards.

Integrated into the A6-5357M is the Radeon HD 8450G GPU, which, while capable of handling basic 2D tasks and video playback, is incapable of modern gaming or GPU-intensive applications. It features 128 stream processors and can operate at up to 650 MHz, supporting up to three display outputs. The inclusion of AMD-V virtualization enhances virtual machine performance, offering a minor benefit in enterprise or development environments.

In terms of performance, the A6-5357M is comparable to older mid-range CPUs like the Core i5-560M and Athlon II X4 645, but it trails behind modern mobile processors such as the Core i3-5005U and Ryzen 9 7950X. Its performance in Passmark tests—4502 in Number Crunching, 4456 in Data Processing, and 4471 in Physics Compute—shows modest capabilities, consistent with its role as an entry-level device. While it may still serve in legacy systems or as a secondary processor, its position in the top 50 lists is non-existent, and it is outperformed by every CPU in the top 50 overall, single-core, and multicore rankings.

In conclusion, the A6-5357M is best suited for basic computing tasks in older laptops or embedded systems where power efficiency and low cost are prioritized over performance. Its age and limited capabilities make it obsolete for modern computing needs, and it serves as a reminder of how far CPU technology has advanced in the past decade.
