Overview
SummaryThe AMD A6-9500E is a desktop processor with 2 cores and 2 threads. It launched in Sep 2016. Clocks run from 3.0 GHz base to 3.4 GHz boost. It uses the AM4 socket. Rated TDP is 35 W.
Performance
12 metricsThe AMD A6-9500E scores 1,372 in single-core performance and 1,713 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,533 for overall performance, 3,034 for productivity performance, 3,412 for creator performance, 1,595 for engineering performance and 4,544 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 857 per core, 857 per thread and 49 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 259. Its performance index is 19, so its overall performance is 81% 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.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores 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 A6-9500E scores 8,309 in integer math, 2,641 in floating-point math, 27,612 in compression, 550 in cryptography, 135 in physics simulation, 950 in vector SIMD, 7 in the prime sieve and 2,936 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 86% below in integer math, 94% below in floating-point math, 88% below in compression, 95% below in cryptography, 88% below in physics simulation, 94% below in vector SIMD, 90% below in the prime sieve and 87% 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.
Core Configuration
7 specsThe AMD A6-9500E has 2 physical cores and runs 2 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 3.00 GHz and boosts up to 3.40 GHz.
