Phenom II N930 Details

Built on a 22 nm process, the Phenom II N930 represents an older generation of AMD processors, though it was designed for low-power mobile applications. Despite its age, it remains a niche option for lightweight computing tasks, particularly where integrated graphics are essential. The processor features a dual-core design with four threads, leveraging AMD's SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading) technology to improve multitasking efficiency. With a base clock of 1500 MHz and a turbo frequency of 1900 MHz, it offers modest performance in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads. It operates within a tight 11.5 W TDP, making it suitable for ultra-thin devices and battery-powered systems. The N930 is compatible with the FCBGA1168 socket and supports DDR3L and LPDDR3 memory types up to 16 GB, with a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s across two channels. It includes support for PCIe 2.0 with up to 12 lanes, allowing for flexible expansion options.

The integrated graphics are provided by Intel's HD Graphics 4200, which runs at a base frequency of 200 MHz and can burst to 850 MHz. This GPU supports up to three display outputs, enabling multi-monitor setups, though it is not designed for demanding gaming or professional graphics workloads. While the integrated GPU is functional for basic multimedia playback and light productivity tasks, its performance is significantly constrained by the processor's overall architecture and age. The N930 also supports a range of advanced features, including AES encryption, AVX2, and virtualization technologies such as VT-x and VT-d, which enhance security and system efficiency.

In benchmark testing, the Phenom II N930 achieves an overall score of 4319, placing it at #1496 out of 2060 processors. Its single-core performance scores 4259, ranking #1524, and its multicore score is 4410, placing it at #1431. These results indicate that while the processor is competitive with some older dual-core CPUs, it falls well behind modern processors in both single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. It is outperformed by newer models such as the Core i3-7100U and the A8-7500, and it lags behind even mid-tier CPUs like the Core i5-4310U. The multicore score suggests that the processor scales reasonably well for its class, but the significant gap between its single-core and overall performance indicates that its weakest area is multi-threaded workload execution.

As of March 2026, the Phenom II N930 is best suited for legacy systems, low-cost devices, or users requiring basic computing capabilities without the need for high performance. Its combination of low power consumption and integrated graphics makes it a viable choice for netbooks, entry-level laptops, and embedded systems. However, for users demanding modern performance, gaming, or content creation, more recent processors from both AMD and Intel are strongly recommended. The N930 serves as a reminder of a bygone era in mobile computing, where efficiency and affordability took precedence over raw power.
