Box of 12 AMD, A6-9500 Processor Multipack, soc. AM4, 35W, Radeon R5 Series

The AMD A6-9500 is a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in September 2016. It is part of the A6 lineup, using the Bristol Ridge architecture with Socket AM4. A6-9500 has 1MB of L2 cache and operates at 3.5 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.8 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the A6-9500 on a 28 nm production process using 3,100 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of GlobalFoundries. The multiplier is locked on A6-9500, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 65 W, the A6-9500 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD’s processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 2400 MHz, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the computer, A6-9500 uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Radeon R5 integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the A6-9500, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, AMD is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
