A8-3500M Details

The AMD A8-3500M represents a significant step in mobile computing from 2011, showcasing AMD's transition into integrated graphics and multi-core design with its Llano architecture. Unlike its predecessors, which relied on separate CPU and GPU dies, the A8-3500M combines both into a single package, offering a more cohesive experience for power-efficient notebooks. While it's now considered outdated by modern standards, its design was forward-thinking for its time, integrating a 64-bit processor with Radeon HD 6620G graphics, all on a 45 nm process node. As of March 2026, the A8-3500M sits firmly in the past, but it remains a benchmark for understanding the evolution of mobile computing performance.

This mobile processor features a dual-core design with a base clock of 2.53 GHz and a turbo frequency of 2.3 GHz, although this appears to be a data inconsistency, as turbo frequencies are typically higher than base clocks. The processor is built on the Llano architecture, using a 45 nm manufacturing process, and includes 1.178 billion transistors. It supports DDR3 memory at speeds of 1066 MHz and 1333 MHz, with dual-channel memory support, enabling a maximum memory bandwidth of 21.3 GB/s. The processor is socketed in BGA479 and PGA478, designed for low-power mobile platforms with a TDP of just 35 W.

Cache hierarchy includes 0.122 MiB of L1 cache and 0.954 MiB of L2 cache, with no L3 cache present. The integrated Radeon HD 6620G GPU operates at a base frequency of 650 MHz and can boost to 1050 MHz, supporting up to two displays simultaneously. While the GPU lacks modern compute capabilities, it was sufficient for light gaming and multimedia tasks in its era. The A8-3500M also supports a range of instruction sets, including SSE, AVX2, AES, and AMD-V virtualization, ensuring compatibility with a broad software ecosystem.

In benchmark testing, the A8-3500M scores 4019 in overall performance, placing it at #1872 out of 2060 processors. Its single-core score of 3802 ranks it #1888, while its multicore score of 4345 places it #1595. These results indicate that the processor is best suited for basic productivity tasks rather than demanding workloads. Compared to its peers, it performs slightly better than the A10-4655M and Athlon 64 X2 4800+, but falls behind modern low-power processors like the Celeron N3450 and Atom C3338. The processor’s strongest performance category is multicore, where it outperforms several single-core-focused designs.

Despite its age, the A8-3500M remains a viable option for users needing a low-cost, energy-efficient system for everyday computing. Its integrated graphics and modest performance make it ideal for light office work, web browsing, and media playback. However, for modern applications requiring high computational power, such as video editing or gaming, it is severely limited. The A8-3500M serves as a reminder of how far computing technology has come, illustrating the rapid pace of innovation in both CPU and GPU design over the past decade.
