AMD® A12-9730P

The AMD A12-9730P is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads (28 nm process). It launched in Jun 2016. Clocks run from 2.8 GHz base to 3.5 GHz boost. It supports DDR4 memory. It uses the FP4 socket. Rated TDP is 35 W.

The AMD A12-9730P scores 1,413 in single-core performance and 2,966 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 2,047 for overall performance, 3,906 for productivity performance, 4,175 for creator performance, 2,855 for engineering performance and 4,981 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 742 per core, 742 per thread and 85 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 346. Its performance index is 25, so its overall performance is 75% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD A12-9730P scores 16,472 in integer math, 5,140 in floating-point math, 50,664 in compression, 917 in cryptography, 201 in physics simulation, 1,773 in vector SIMD, 9 in the prime sieve and 5,321 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 72% below in integer math, 89% below in floating-point math, 78% below in compression, 92% below in cryptography, 82% below in physics simulation, 89% below in vector SIMD, 87% below in the prime sieve and 77% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD A12-9730P has 4 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.80 GHz and boosts up to 3.50 GHz.

The AMD A12-9730P is a laptop processor, belongs to the AMD AMD family and is manufactured on a 28 nm process. It launched in Jun 2016.

The AMD A12-9730P has 512 KB of L1 cache and 4 MB of L2 cache. That adds up to about 4.5 MB of cache, or 1.13 MB per core.

The AMD A12-9730P has a 2-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 512 KB and L2 at 4 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 89% of the cache listed here.

The AMD A12-9730P supports DDR4 memory and runs memory at up to 2,400 MT/s. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The AMD A12-9730P uses the FP4 socket.

The AMD A12-9730P has a rated TDP of 35 W.
