A6-9500E Details

Built on AMD's Bristol Ridge architecture at a 45 nm process node, the A6-9500E is a desktop processor that was released in September 2016. While it represents an older generation of hardware, its design reflects AMD's strategy at the time to deliver budget-friendly, integrated solutions for mainstream users. The processor features four cores and operates at a base frequency of 1.73 GHz, with a turbo frequency reaching up to 2.93 GHz. It is packaged in a µPGA socket and utilizes the Socket AM4 interface, making it compatible with a range of motherboards from that era. With a TDP of 45 W, the A6-9500E strikes a balance between performance and energy efficiency, suitable for light workloads and basic computing tasks.

The A6-9500E includes 1 MB of L2 cache and supports dual-channel DDR3 memory, with a maximum rated speed of 2400 MT/s. However, the processor is limited to 8 GB of total memory capacity and operates at a maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s. The integrated graphics solution is the Radeon R5, which features a base frequency of 650 MHz and can boost to 1.1 GHz, supporting up to three displays. This GPU is built on the same 45 nm process as the CPU and integrates seamlessly into the system, offering basic multimedia and gaming capabilities without requiring a discrete graphics card.

In terms of supported features, the A6-9500E includes a wide array of instruction sets such as MMX, SSE, AVX, AVX2, and AES-NI, enabling it to handle modern software and encryption tasks efficiently. It also supports AMD-V virtualization, which enhances performance in virtual machine environments. The processor does not support simultaneous multithreading or a locked clock multiplier, which limits its overclocking potential. Despite these constraints, it provides a solid foundation for entry-level desktops and embedded applications.

Benchmark data reveals that the A6-9500E achieves an Overall Score of 4393, placing it at #1410 out of 2060 processors in the Passmark rankings. Its Singlecore Score is 4501, ranking it #1290, while its Multicore Score stands at 4230, placing it #1960. These results indicate that the A6-9500E performs competitively in single-threaded applications but falls behind in multi-core workloads. It ranks just below processors like the Core i3-4005U and Core i7-2715QE, while surpassing older models such as the Core i3-5010U and Core i7-975. The processor's strongest performance is in single-core tasks, though it struggles to keep pace with modern CPUs in multi-threaded environments.

As of March 2026, the A6-9500E remains a niche option for users seeking a low-power, cost-effective solution for basic computing needs. Its integrated graphics and modest performance make it suitable for office work, web browsing, and media playback. However, it is no longer competitive with current-generation processors in terms of raw power or efficiency. For users upgrading from older systems, it offers a modest performance uplift, but those requiring high-end performance or modern features should consider more recent AMD or Intel offerings.
