A6-7470K Details

For budget-conscious desktop users seeking basic computing performance without the need for a discrete graphics card, the AMD A6-7470K offers a cost-effective solution. Released in February 2016, this processor is now considered an older device, reflecting its place in the mid-tier segment of AMD's A6 lineup from that era. Built on the Godaveri microarchitecture and fabricated at GlobalFoundries using a 32 nm process, the A6-7470K features two cores and two threads, operating at a base frequency of 2.8 GHz with a turbo frequency of 2.8 GHz. It is designed for Socket FM2+ and includes integrated Radeon R5 graphics, making it suitable for light gaming and multimedia tasks.

The processor operates at a TDP of 73 W, which is relatively efficient for its time, and supports dual-channel DDR3 memory up to 1866 MT/s, with a maximum capacity of 16 GB. The A6-7470K includes 1 MB of L2 cache and lacks an L3 cache, which limits its performance in memory-intensive applications. Despite its modest specifications, the chip supports a range of modern instruction sets, including AVX, AVX2, AES, and SSE4.1/4.2, ensuring compatibility with contemporary software and enabling improved performance in calculation-heavy workloads.

In benchmark testing, the A6-7470K achieves an Overall Score of 4716, placing it at #1090 among 2060 processors, with a Singlecore Score of 4883 (#1018) and a Multicore Score of 4466 (#1290). These results place it behind several modern Intel and AMD processors, such as the Core i3-2350M and Athlon 200GE, but ahead of older models like the Core i7-4600U. Its single-core performance is relatively strong compared to its multicore capabilities, indicating it is better suited for applications that rely on high clock speeds rather than parallel processing.

The integrated Radeon R5 GPU operates at a base frequency of 533 MHz and can boost to 1100 MHz, supporting up to two displays and offering basic graphics performance suitable for office use, web browsing, and low-end gaming. While not designed for demanding graphics tasks, the A6-7470K provides a functional all-in-one solution for entry-level systems.

As of March 2026, the A6-7470K remains a viable option for users requiring a simple, affordable desktop processor. Its performance is adequate for light productivity tasks, but it is outclassed by modern CPUs in both single-core and multicore workloads. For users prioritizing cost over performance, the A6-7470K remains a practical choice, though it is no longer competitive with contemporary processors in the broader market.
