Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of A4-1350 specifications and capabilities.

Processing Power

The A4-1350 is a 4-core / 4-thread processor based on the Kabini (2013−2014) architecture, manufactured on a 32 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 1 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. It carries 0 kB of L3 cache, plus 512K (per core) of L2 cache and 128K (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 911, placing it in the Entry Level performance tier as a Legacy generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 136.
